SELF-REPORTED HEALTH CONCERNS AND SEXUAL BEHAVIORS IN ADOLESCENTS WITH CERVICAL DYSPLASIA - A PILOT-STUDY JOURNAL OF ADOLESCENT HEALTH Biro, F. M., Rosenthal, S. L., WILDEY, L. S., Hillard, P. A. 1991; 12 (5): 391-394

Abstract

A group of 46 women attending an adolescent dysplasia clinic were surveyed regarding the reported impact of cervical dysplasia on sexual beliefs and behaviors. The adolescents reported being concerned about their future health and having changed their sexual practices. There were no clear relationships between demographic variables or sexual attitudes and changes. The adolescents' self-reports of their behavior were not consistent; those adolescents who reported safer sex practices did not have lower rates of sexually transmitted diseases postbiopsy. The results of this study indicate the important but complex impact of sexually transmitted disease on adolescents and suggests that this impact on adolescents may be different from that on adults.
