The overall goal of the proposed project is to increase
understanding of the behaviors of young men which are related to
HIV and STD transmission and fertility. We focus on testing a new
approach to measuring self reported behavior and analyzing changes
in sexual activity and contraceptive use across periods of time,
across cohorts, and across developmental stages. The proposed work
extends our prior research with the National Survey of Adolescent
Males (NSAM) project which surveyed a nationally representative
household sample of never-married adolescent males ages 15-19 in
1988 and reinterviewed the same respondents in 1991 when they were
2 and on half years older, which has been supported by NICHD. The
specific aims of the new project are:
1. To conduct two surveys in 1994: (a) The third wave for the 1988
panel who will be 21-26 years-old and (b) a new panel of 15-19 year
old males about:their knowledge and attitudes about AIDS and other
STDs, their attitudes about condoms and condom use related to the
prevention of pregnancy. AIDS and other STDs, and their levels of
sexual activity, experience with partners, and contraceptive use.
2. to develop estimates of levels of sexual activity, condom and
other contraceptive use, and other HIV risk behaviors among of 15-
19 year old males in 1994, paralleling data collection for females
in the 1994 National Survey of Family Growth Cycle V and adding
more depth about behaviors and their determinants.
3. T examine period, age and cohort related changes in attitudes,
knowledge, and behaviors regarding sexual activity, partners
condoms , other contraception, AIDS and other STDs among young men
between 1988, 1991 and 1994.
4. To test whether a new approach to collecting self report data
results in increased reporting of stigmatized behaviors by
conducting an experiment which randomly assigns members of the new
15-19 year old panel to one of two data collection approaches: (1)
Computer Assisted Personal Interview or (2) Personal Interview with
Self Administered Questionnaire.
5. To investigate factors influencing the selection of sexual
partners on dimensions related to HIV and STD risk, and to
investigate longitudinal patterns of partner selection.
6. To examine the association of life transitions (school
completion, entry into full time employment, movement out of
parental household, and entry into and exit form marriage and
cohabitation) with fertility behavior (levels of sexual activity
and contraception).
7. To prepare documented public use tapes which will be deposited
with the data archive on Adolescent Pregnancy and Pregnancy
Prevention at the end of the grant period.

Publications
Publications are associated with projects, but cannot be identified with any particular year of the project or fiscal year of funding. This is due to the continuous and cumulative nature of knowledge generation across the life of a project and the sometimes long and variable publishing timeline. Similarly, for multi-component projects, publications are associated with the parent core project and not with individual sub-projects.
