- Abstract
The purpose of this article is to present the results of a research on the relationship between the strengths and the presence of risk behaviors of adolescents served in the various programs of the Juan Bosco Corporation in the city of Cali, Colombia. Based on the positive youth development perspective, a correlational study was conducted comparing 188 adolescents of the Corporation, classified in two groups according to their time of association. Another group of 81 adolescents from the sector, not linked to the Juan Bosco Corporation, was selected. Strengths and protective factors adapted for Mexico and Colombia were used; and risk behaviors were using the risk behavior inventory of Andrade Palos and Betancourt Ocampo (2008). The results showed that external strengths related to parental figures and peers are more decisive for adolescents not to engage in risky behaviors.
