study : Male teen-agers engage in risky behaviour associated with HIV infection more than previously thought, and they are also much more willing to report such behavior if the survey is administered by computer, rather than on paper, a new study suggests. The research appears to call into question much of the data that has been gathered on sensitive subjects like drug use and sexual habits, and to confirm what researchers have long assumed to be under-reporting in such areas.
