Screening Adolescents for Substance Use–Related High-Risk Sexual BehaviorsJournal of Adolescent Health Volume 45, Issue 5, November 2009, Pages 473-477
This analysis was undertaken to determine whether adolescents who screened positive for high-risk substance use with the CRAFFT questions were also more likely to engage in risky sexual behaviors than their peers, and to determine the test–retest reliability of a substance use–related sexual risk behaviors inventory.
Clinicians should pay special attention to counseling CRAFFT-positive adolescents regarding use of condoms and the risks associated with sexual activity with multiple partners, while intoxicated, or with an intoxicated partner.
