“…The adolescents at our evaluation sites, as in other detention settings, were mobile because of court-related appointments or transfers to other facilities at short notice. Similar problems have been reported in other studies with this population (Godin, et al, 2003;Magura et al, 1994). Because of these and other factors, the number of intervention participants often changed from session to session, even though the three sessions occurred within a span of 1 week.…”

Male adolescents who cycle through the juvenile justice system are at high risk for HIV infection, yet there are few HIV prevention interventions for this high-risk population. This study evaluates the efficacy of Preventing AIDS through Live Movement and Sound (PALMS), an innovative, theory-based HIV risk reduction intervention that uses theatrical performances and role-play. The study used a nonrandomized concurrent comparison group design. A total of 289 predominantly African American males aged 12-18 from two juvenile justice facilities in Philadelphia, PA were enrolled. At 6-month follow-up, PALMS participants demonstrated greater increases in HIV and condom use knowledge and improved attitudes toward HIV testing and toward persons living with HIV/AIDS than did those in the comparison condition. PALMS participants were also significantly more likely to use a condom during their last sexual contact with a non-main female partner than comparison participants. This theater-based HIV prevention intervention is a potential resource for changing knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of adolescents in juvenile justice settings.

Sexual behavior can threaten the physical and social well-being of young people in the United States in a variety of ways, as it can put them at risk for infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), other sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs) and unintended pregnancy. This review describes the current extent of HIV infection in American adolescents, identifies and characterizes particular high-risk groups and risk-bearing and protective behaviors, and identifies barriers to adopting preventive behaviors and using health care services. Our main focus is to present findings from intervention research; we summarize the effects of strategies that operate at the individual level (i.e. biomedical or behavioral, in and outside of the clinic) and environmental level (i.e. family, school and community behavioral) to influence behavioral change and the prevention of HIV infection. Overall, even though abstinence eliminates the risk altogether and the use of condoms can effectively reduce the risk of sexual transmission of HIV, adolescents do not optimally employ these practices. Various approaches to counseling by providers and other behavioral interventions aimed at reducing high-risk sexual behavior have been effective, but have met with limited and short-lived success. Among the areas receiving inadequate attention to date have been the link between biomedical and community-based behavior change interventions and the correspondence of biologic and behavioral outcomes. These areas are explored and directions for future research are suggested.
