Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Large numbers of drug-involved adolescents enter the juvenile justice system (JJS) at risk for the sexually transmitted infections (STIs) chlamydia and gonorrhea, treatable and often asymptomatic bacterial infections that increase HIV risk. However, current STI surveillance in the JJS is symptom-based and typically limited to incarcerated youths, likely resulting in many undetected cases. Implementing effective STI health interventions requires new data on how STIs among delinquents at the “front end” of the JJS and in the community are related to drug use and other risk behaviors. We report preliminary findings from a new project at the Hillsborough County (FL) Juvenile Assessment Center (JAC), involving 450 male and 450 female delinquents tested for chlamydia and gonorrhea and assessed for drug and sexual risk behaviors. Data are presented on STI prevalence, comparing drug-involved youth to those who do not use drugs. Additional comparisons are made by gender, race/ethnicity, age, neighborhood of residence, previous STI testing experience, and sexual risk profiles. Future analyses will explore relationships among drug use and STI risk; the STI-related service needs of delinquent youth; individual and organizational barriers to expanding STI testing and treatment for delinquents; and the factors predicting receipt of STI treatment among infected youth.
