Terry's case: A Youth at Risk

Question 4

By using a non-judgemental approach you have been successful in gaining Terry's trust and have obtained the information you need with respect to his substance use to assess and address the related risks. Congratulations!

However you realize that Terry's substance use is only one aspect of his life, and that there are other things you need to know in order to evaluate his other health risks. You are particularly concerned about Terry's risks for sexually transmitted infections (STI).

To determine Terry's other risks for STI what areas should you cover (in addition to substance use)?

  1. Relationship history and Psychosocial health history
  2. Sexual risk behaviour history/STI history
  3. Reproductive/medical events history
  4. All of the above
