BackgroundMost sexually active people will be infected with a sexually transmitted infection (STI) at some point in their lives. The number of STIs in the United States was previously estimated in 2000. We updated previous estimates to reflect the number of STIs for calendar year 2008.MethodsWe reviread more

AliceAnn Crandall,Brianna M. Magnusson,M. Lelinneth B. Novilla,Lynneth Kirsten B. Novilla,W. Justin Dyer +4 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that adolescent self-regulatory capacities are a mechanism through which proximal external forces influence adolescent risk-taking, and may be an important method to reduce risk- taking behaviors as adolescents transition to adulthood.
