DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This research will examine to what degree adolescent mother's decisions to use condoms are influenced by different types of sexual partners, including the fathers of their children. This research program is predicated on the existing scientific knowledge that condom use among adult women with multiple partners does indeed vary by partner type. Additionally, the research question is formulated under the premise that there is an appreciable difference in the relationship between an adolescent mother and her sex partners, including those who are the father of their children, as compared to other adolescent girls. Understanding this phenomenon will potentially facilitate the dismantling of previously unidentified barriers to condom use and effective HIV/STI prevention in this population. My dissertation will serve as the first step in understanding this complex clinical issue.

描述（由申请人提供）：本研究将调查青少年母亲使用安全套的决定在多大程度上受到不同类型性伴侣（包括孩子的父亲）的影响。该研究计划基于现有的科学知识，即具有多个伴侣的成年女性的安全套使用确实因伴侣类型而异。此外，提出该研究问题的前提是，与其他青春期女孩相比，青春期母亲与其性伴侣（包括孩子的父亲）之间的关系存在明显差异。了解这一现象将有可能有助于消除之前未发现的使用安全套的障碍，并有效预防该人群的艾滋病毒/性传播感染。我的论文将作为理解这个复杂的临床问题的第一步。
