摘要
We aimed to discover which social factors influence protective health behaviors among Black youth. We measured study variables based on data from the National Survey of Teens and Young Adults on HIV/AIDS. Participants include youth aged 15 to 24 who completed a 40-question, web-based survey. The analytical sample of participants (n = 270) only comprised African American youth, mean age 20 years (SD: 0.28). Using multiple regression analysis, study findings suggest that focusing on protective health behaviors, such as personal agency among youth, with variables like personal perception and concern and HIV testing could be one way to reduce their risk of HIV transmission. Enhancing the role and influence of personal agency given their testing behaviors can inform HIV prevention and intervention programs that are specific to Black youth. Our findings identify targets for intervention to enhance personal agency in this population, including enhancing HIV risk prevention.
