Three studies were conducted to accomplish the following aims: 1) to assess how the interplay between affective and cognitive components of the perceived risk construct impact primary prevention strategies for young adults in a population with an average risk distribution for STIs; 2) to assess how the interplay between affective, cognitive, and experiential components of the perceived risk construct impact primary prevention strategies for adults in a high risk population for STIs; 3) to explore how affect (feelings), cognitions (beliefs), and experiential risk (heuristics) associated with negative health outcomes related to STIs shape risk judgments.","**To request an accessible version of the file(s) associated with this item, contact library@buffalo.edu.
