 AB    Poverty and culture are important determinants of condom use and
       socio-economic factors are linked to STDs in adolescents. The aim of the
       study is to investigate disadvantaged youths' risk for HIV, STDs and
       unwanted pregnancies and to ascertain the critical behavioural and
       psychosocial determinants of high risk sexual behaviour. More
       specifically, it is necessary to determine to what extent the presence
       of STD(s) among these young people is associated with the non-use of
       condoms and to examine whether or not the determinants of having STD(s)
       are the same as or different from the determinants of non-use of
       condoms. This paper addresses the methodological issues associated with
       collecting sexual health data from a sample of 15 to 19 year old
       disadvantaged youth and presents the results from a pilot study.
