RESULTS Content analyses of DET-RS sketches provided increased understanding of substance use and other context preceding risky sexual situations with different types of sex partners. None of the sketches including drugs depicted condoms, only one of the sketches with alcohol included a condom, and only 2 sketches mentioned sexually transmitted diseases. CONCLUSIONS The DET-RS is a useful research tool for generating nonverbal context-specific stimuli associated with risky sexual situations.
