Background and Brief Description
CDC is requesting OMB approval to
conduct an assessment of the
determinants of factors associated with
parent-adolescent communication about
sex among African-American and
Hispanic mothers and their children in
the southwestern United States. In the
United States, non-Hispanic Black and
Hispanic adolescents have been
disproportionately impacted by HIV/
AIDS. In 2006, based on CDC data from
the 50 states and the District of
Columbia, non-Hispanic Blacks and
Hispanics made up 16% and 17%,
respectively (34% total), of the 13–19
year-old population, but 69% and 19%
respectively (88% total) of AIDS
diagnoses among that age group. In
addition, current trends suggest that a
large number of persons with HIV/AIDS
are infected in their adolescent years,
and there may be a long latency period
before signs of infection present in later
years. Individuals may develop patterns
of sexual behavior in adolescence that
put them at risk for infection with HIV.
