AB Lifetime and current alcohol and drug use and sexual risk acts were
examined among 154 male and 148 female runaways, aged 11-19,
predominantly Black and Hispanic, residing at four residential shelters
in the New York City area. Most runaways reported alcohol (71%) and drug
use (46%), with about a quarter (27%) using either alcohol or drugs at
least once a week during the past 3 months. Physical symptoms of
substance abuse were reported by 47%; 17% reported addiction. Current
substance use was higher among males and Hispanics, and increased with
age. Substance use was significantly related to reporting more sexual
partners and less frequent condom use. The results suggest that HIV/AIDS
prevention programs must target the reduction of alcohol and drug use as
well as sexual risk acts.
