This study had 2 objectives: first, to compare
the sexual, substance use, and safety risk
behaviors of heterosexual and GLB high school
students, and second, to determine whether
gay-sensitive HIV instruction in high school
would be associated with reductions in rates
of high-risk sexual behaviors among GLB
youths. We expected that GLB youths would be
at increased risk and that those attending
schools where gay-sensitive HIV instruction
was provided would report lower levels of sexual
risk behaviors.
