 AB    Using data from a cross-sectional survey of 531 predominantly black and
       Hispanic 10th graders in two New York City schools, the explanatory
       power of predictors of intentions to engage in sexual intercourse, to
       have multiple intercourse partners, and to use condoms was compared.
       Theoretically derived predictor variables (i.e., susceptibility,
       severity, benefits, barriers, self-efficacy, values, norms) were derived
       from the health belief model, social cognitive theory, and a model of
       social influence. One half of sampled students definitely intended to
       have sexual intercourse in the next year, one tenth definitely intended
       to have multiple partners, and two thirds definitely intended to use
       condoms. In multivariate analyses, variables derived from the model of
       social influence and from social cognitive theory were most strongly
       associated with the three investigated behavioral intentions; however,
       certain background and health belief variables also contributed to the
       explained variance in intercourse and multiple partner intentions.
