Abstract
Risk activities for acquisition of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) remain prevalent among urban adolescents. Early adolescents represent a particularly vulnerable group, exhibiting high rates of unprotected sexual activity. In spite of a growing recognition of the need to examine cultural, environmental, and developmental variables contributing to both risk and protective behaviors, little such research has been described to date. Guided by the constructs of a model of risk-protective behavior (Protection Motivation Theory) and employing ethnographic techniques, an exploration of the developmental, sociohistorical, and cultural constructs that might influence adolescent sexual behavior was conducted. Focus group and individual interviews were conducted among 64 inner-city youths, 10 to 14 years of age, and their parents. Findings relevant to perceptions of sexual behavior among young adolescents are presented. The methodology employed in this exploratory phase and the strengths and limitations of focus group discussions are discussed
