The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that adolescents\u2019 attitudes about protecting themselves from STDs predict their laboratory\u2010confirmed prevalence of STDs in early adulthood.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:\u2002<\/jats:bold> Wave 3 of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health assessed <jats:italic>Chlamydia trachomatis<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Neisseria gonorrhoeae<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>Trichomonas vaginalis<\/jats:italic>. This wave 3 data were regressed on data collected in wave 1 (when those followed were teens). A single\u2010item measure (with a 5\u2010point response option) assessed adolescents\u2019 attitude: \u201cIt would be a big hassle to do the things necessary to completely protect yourself from getting an STD.\u201d<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:\u2002<\/jats:bold> Valid urine specimens were provided by 8297 adolescents who also completed the self\u2010reported measures needed for this study. Overall, 6.4% of the weighted sample tested positive for at least 1 of the 3 STDs. Controlling for age, gender, minority status, and age of sexual debut (all of which are well\u2010established predictors of STD prevalence), attitude toward STD protection achieved significance (P &lt; .001). Each additional point on the 5\u2010point scale increased adolescents\u2019 odds of testing positive for an STD in early adulthood by about 13%. Of interest, the attitudinal measure did not interact with any of the other variables.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:\u2002<\/jats:bold> Findings provide evidence suggesting that safer sex programs may benefit adolescents by fostering positive attitudes toward practices that avert STD
