Abstract
A total of 403 women (aged 14-25 years) were surveyed to determine the association of psychosocial variables with risky sexual behaviors and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Depression, stress, and low social support were associated with high-risk sexual behaviors and past STIs. When comparing adolescent women (aged 14-19) to young women (aged 20-25), the adolescents had stronger associations with the outcome variables.
