Abstract

Purpose: Previous research has identified risk and protective factors associated with adolescent HIV infection in the individual, family, and peer domains. Recently, studies have found a link between neighborhood risk factors and HIV risk behaviors. However, the pathways by which this occurs remain poorly understood. This study seeks to test a conceptual framework that proposes a hypothesized pathway by which neighborhood risk may influence HIV risk among urban African American adolescents.
