Compliance With Ethical Standards
:
: The authors declare they have no conflicts of interest.
: All procedures performed in studies involving human participants were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional and/or national research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards. This article does not contain any studies with animals performed by any of the authors. IRB approval was sought (and given) to waive parental consent given the sensitivity of the research topics, and the likelihood that the youth would be less likely to share their perceptions about alcohol use and sexual activity if parents were notified about the contents of the study. However careful review was conducted to reasonably assure that the content being explored, most of it anonymous, would not cause harm to any participants. Due to the expected high levels of illiteracy across the participants, verbal consent was obtained. Informed consent was obtained from all individual participants included in the study.
