“…All self-reported measures were assessed using audio-computer assisted self-interviewing (A-CASI), based on findings suggesting decreased reporting bias compared to paper and pencil approaches (Michaud, Narring, & Ferron, 1999). By providing a voice track that delivered each question to adolescents through headphones, A-CASI technology may have reduced problems that would have otherwise been posed by illiteracy.…”

Purpose-Among a sample of detained youth, to investigate pathways that link witnessing community violence, in the 12 months prior to being detained, to drug and sexual risk behaviors, in the two months preceding detainment.Methods-Using A-CASI technology, data was collected from 559 detained adolescents on demographics, family factors, peer influences, religiosity, witnessing community violence, and drug and sexual risk behaviors.Results-Controlling for demographics and family variables, findings indicated positive associations between witnessing community violence and drug and sexual risk behaviors. Witnessing community violence was directly linked to sexual risk behaviors, and indirectly associated with these risk behaviors, through gang membership and perceived risky peer norms. Additionally, witnessing community violence was indirectly linked to substance use through gang membership and perceived risky peer norms.Conclusions-Interventions targeting change in peer affiliations and perceived norms may be an effective strategy for reducing risky drug and sexual behaviors among detained youth.

“…25 Disclosure may also be enhanced by developing questionnaires based on preliminary interactions with members of the target audience. 26 However, it is important to note that empirically establishing the utility of these strategies (as well as those designed to promote recall) is problematic owing to a lack of "gold standards" for comparison purposes. An area of needed further research is developing and refining assays that can be used to confirm study participants' reports of having unprotected sex.…”
