Promoting Responsible Sexual Behavior; a Pilot Survey among Adolescents Spending Free Time in Commercial Centres

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the evaluation and the description of the implementation of the public activity project by the Association for Children and Young People STATION Program, called Promoting Healthy Lifestyle and Responsible Sexual Behaviors in the context of the HIV/AIDS and SIT – a pilot project. Project activities were carried out via outreachworking, i.e. directly in places where the project beneficiaries can be found (Arkadia Shopping Centre, Złote Tarasy Shopping Centre in Warsaw), and were supported by counselling provided either in specific locations or by telephone. These activities were targeted at adolescents who spend their free time in shopping centres, as well as at adolescents and young adults who, in search of income, will look in such places for sexual partners. As a part of the project, 246 shopping centre employees were interviewed and direct contact was established with 546 young people. The findings allow for the preliminary typology of the phenomenon and for the definition of the recommendations of preventive measures to be targeted at young people, mainly those engaging in risky sexual behaviors.
