Social support quantity was not significantly associated with criminal risk.
Further research is needed to determine the relationship between social support quantity and risky sexual behavior and substance use.
Results from separate confirmatory factor analyses and standardized factor loadings for the two latent variables, social support quality and social support quantity are presented in Table 2.
The measurement model for social support quantity latent construct was acceptable: CMIN/df = 2.41 (p =.090, df = 2), AGFI =.964, NFI =.996, RMSEA =.064, Hoelter's N = 426.
Additionally, the proposed model found that social support quantity was significantly positively associated with increased sexual risk behavior (β = 0.40) and substance use (β = 0.20).
Direct paths from social support quantity had significant positive associations with sexual risk behavior (p <.05) and substance use (p <.05).

We initially tested a mediated model of social support quality and quantity between criminal risk and sexual risk behaviors.
Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to model and test path directionality and magnitude between the latent constructs of social support quality and quantity on risky behaviors.
Direct paths were measured from the exogenous manifest variable, criminal risk, to the exogenous latent constructs, social support quality and quantity.
Fourth, due to modeling constraints we were unable to evaluate interaction effects of social support quality and quantity, further research is needed.
