“…Hence, pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease (STD), in particular acquired immune de ciency syndrome (AIDS), 148 M. R. Lambke and K.

Nurses have been providing reproductive health counseling to adolescent females for over 20 years. Yet, we found no studies in the nursing literature in which the investigator examined the types of reproductive health counseling nurses provide to adolescent females. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine nurses' description and evaluation of the types of reproductive health counseling they used for adolescent females. Five registered nurses, with at least 10 years experience in providing reproductive health counseling to adolescent females, were interviewed using a semi-structured guide. Four areas were explored: type of information provided, barriers to providing counseling, adolescent female decision-making capacity, and nursing recommendations. Two general themes emerged from the respondents' evaluations: frustration and unused potential of nurses to affect the reproductive health of adolescent females, and the inappropriateness of current reproductive health strategies for adolescent females.

A three-year longitudinal intervention study was implemented to reduce high-risk drug and sexual behaviors in methadone-dependent African American women. Participants were recruited from four inner-city methadone maintenance programs and randomly assigned either to an eight-week peer counseling and leadership training group or to a control group. The 107 trainees and 97 controls completed pretests and posttests at two, four, and seven months. This paper focuses on final data related to the subjects' sexual beliefs, attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors that put them at risk for HIV/AIDS. Reasons for not using condoms are categorized and discussed. Despite the women's awareness of the seriousness of AIDS, perceived powerlessness to negotiate condom use, negative attitudes about the use of condoms, influence of drugs, and unavailablility of condoms interfered with safer sex practices. The inability of education alone to prevent many high-risk sexual behaviors suggests that more serious consideration be given to expanded distribution of condoms as well as needle exchange programs and legalization of illicit drugs.
