Harm reduction: An approach to reducing risk health behaviours in adolescents: National Center for Biotechnology Information. Retrieved from: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC252882…

Identify and list the risky behaviors in which Marian is engaging, as well as a rationale for why they are risky and the potential problems that can result. Then come up with a harm reduction strategy for Marian to increase her safety and reduce the risks to her personal safety and her health.

Marian has a history of drinking heavily at a local bar, where she often meets men and drives them home at the end of the night to use drugs and have sex. She attributes the fact that she does not use condoms to the substance use: by the time the sex occurs, she is often so high she forgets to use the condoms she has on hand, and when she does remember, her partners often resist condom use. Given that she is high, she doesn’t insist. Every Friday night, the cycle repeats itself. Marian visits the bar, finds a new partner, and engages in unprotected sex with him.
