 AB    In the context of a transational study, 404 sexual active 17-21
       years-old students living in Lyon (France), Montreal (Quebec) and
       Salamanque and Madrid (Spain) have answered a questionnaire dealing with
       their contraceptive patterns, their perceptions of AIDS and their risky
       sexual behaviors. Results show that each group uses a different
       contraceptive strategy. In France and in Quebec those who had their
       first intercourse before 17 years of age used oral contraceptive rather
       than the condom. As for AIDS girls from Quebec had a higher index of
       risky sexual behaviors (CASH) than French, but the opposite was true
       among boys, while both girls and boys from Spain adopted safer sexual
       behaviors. Multiple regression analysis shows that the CASH rests on
       different predictors according to each national context.
