AB This survey examined the relationships of sexual risk taking to
substance use and AIDS knowledge in pregnant adolescents (n = 58) and
nonpregnant young mothers (n = 93). Subjects were from predominantly
minority backgrounds, were single, and ranged in age from 12 to 20 years
(M = 16.64). A number of high-risk behaviors were reported, including
substance use during pregnancy and early parenthood, unprotected sexual
relations, and multiple (lifetime) sex partners. Current pregnancy
status, history of marijuana use, and ethnicity were strong predictors
of having had multiple sex partners. Odds ratios suggested that Black
adolescents were many times more likely than Whites to have had multiple
sex partners. Pregnant adolescents were less likely than young mothers
(nonpregnant) to have had multiple sex partners but more likely to have
unprotected sex (i.e., without use of a condom). Conversely, young
mothers were more likely to have multiple sex partners and less likely
to have unprotected sex than were pregnant adolescents. Those with a
history of marijuana use were more likely to have had multiple sex
partners than were adolescents who had never used this drug. AIDS
knowledge was not a significant predictor of high-risk sexual behavior.
