Sex risk behavior among adolescent and young adult children of opiate addicts : outcomes from the focus on families prevention trial and an examination of childhood and concurrent predictors of sex risk behavior . This study reports on rates and predictors of sex risk behavior among a sample of adolescent and young adult children of parents enrolled in methadone treatment for opiate addiction . Data are from 151 participants ( 80 males , 71 females ) in the Focus on Families ( FOF ) project , a randomized trial of a family intervention and a study of the development of at-risk children . The study participants are children of parents enrolled in methadone treatment between 1990 and 1993 . Participants were interviewed in 2005 when they ranged in age from 15 to 29 years . In the year prior to the follow-up , 79 % of the males and 83 % of females were sexually active , 26 % of males and 10 % of females had more than one partner in the prior year , and 34 % of males and 24 % of females reported having sex outside of a committed relationship . Twenty-four percent of males and 17 % of females met criteria for high-risk sexual behavior , reporting casual or multiple partners in the prior year and inconsistent condom use . Participants in the intervention and control conditions did not differ significantly in terms of any measure of sex risk behavior examined . None of the measures of parent behavior and family processes derived from data at baseline of the FOF study predicted whether participants engaged in high-risk sex . Among measures derived from data collected at long-term follow-up , however , having ever met criteria for substance abuse or dependence predicted greater likelihood of high-risk sexual behavior , and being married or being in a romantic relationship was associated with lower likelihood of high-risk sexual behavior . The findings point to the important role of committed relationships in regulating sex risk behavior among this population , as well as heightened levels of sex risk behavior associated with substance abuse or dependence .
