The purpose of this study was to identify personality, demographic, academic, family, and health-related variables that predict a sexually transmitted disease (STD) diagnosis. Subjects were 73 lower-income Black females who presented with an STD diagnosis (n = 24), were sexually active, requested birth control, and had no history of STDs (n = 20), or were not sexually active and presented with a diagnosis unrelated to reproductive health problems (n = 29). Findings revealed that subjects with an STD diagnosis and those who were sexually active tended to be more alike than different and that these two groups differed from the nonse-xually active group. Results are discussed in relation to the existing literature on adolescents and reproductive health care.
