Pathways to Sexual Risk Taking Among Female Adolescent Detainees
Do Family and Parenting Factors in Adolescence Influence Condom Use in Early Adulthood in a Multiethnic Sample of Young Adults
Comparison of Daily and Retrospective Reports of Vaginal Sex in Heterosexual Men and Women
This study examined the agreement between daily and retrospective reports of vaginal sex over a two-month period in a sample of 376 heterosexually active men and women. We also examined whether gender, age, or method of daily data collection (self-administered vs. interviewer administered) were related to agreement between daily and retrospective reports. Both counts and categorical measures of frequency of the behaviors were examined. There were…
The Opposite of Sex? Adolescents’ Thoughts About Abstinence and Sex, and Their Sexual Behavior
Youth do not consider abstinence and sexual activity opposing constructs, and solely instilling positive abstinence attitudes and intentions in youth may not have robust effects in preventing sexual activity
Marriage Following Adolescent Parenthood
Research suggests that adult marriages confer benefits. Does marriage following a teenage birth confer benefits similar to those observed for adults? Longitudinal data from a community sample of 235 young women who gave birth as unmarried adolescents were used to examine this question. Controlling for socioeconomic status and preexisting "benefits," we found that marriage conferred small, though statistically significant, benefits with regard to …

The Reliability and Validity of a Group-Based Measure of Adolescents' Friendship Closeness
Objective: Six items were administered to a multiethnic sample of 435 middle school—age participants in a group-delivered safer sex intervention to determine their reliability and validity. Method: Exploratory analyses were followed by confirmatory factor analyses, and then correlations of scale scores with theoretically related variables were computed. Results: Findings favored a unidimensional scale with high internal consistency (with as few a…
Are multiracial adolescents at greater risk? Comparisons of rates, patterns, and correlates of substance use and violence between monoracial and multiracial adolescents
Rates and patterns of substance use and violent behaviors among multiracial adolescents were examined and compared with 3 monoracial groups, European, African, and Asian Americans. The relationships between ethnic identity and the subjective experience of racial discrimination, substance use, and violent behavior were also examined. The authors found multiracial adolescents reporting higher rates of problem behaviors. Several significant relation…
Life Course Heterogeneity in the Transition from Adolescence to Adulthood Among Adolescent Mothers
Longitudinal data were used to examine pathways taken by 227 adolescent mothers during the transition from adolescence into adulthood. Latent profile analysis identified three sub‐groups of adolescent mothers from 6 months to 6 years postpartum: a problem‐prone profile (15%), a psychologically vulnerable profile (42%), and a normative profile (43%). Group membership was related to long‐term adult outcomes (adult status markers, health‐risk and de…
Applicability of the Social Development Model to Urban Ethnic Minority Youth
The development of preventive interventions targeting adolescent problem behaviors requires a thorough understanding of risk and protective factors for such behaviors. However, few studies examine whether different cultural and ethnic groups share these factors. This study is an attempt to fill a gap in research by examining similarities and differences in risk factors across racial and ethnic groups. The social development model has shown promis…
Analysis with Missing Data in Social Work Research
Missing data occur in virtually all research. Traditional methods for handling missing data, like complete case analyses and mean substitution, can result in the loss of statistical power and biased estimates of parameters. Recent statistical and software developments have provided readily accessible methods of handling missing data that provide more statistical power and less biased estimates than in the past. This paper compares newer technique…
Condom use, frequency of sex, and number of partners
Sexual health research often relies on single risk indicators. However multi-variable composites may better capture the underlying construct of risk-taking. Latent Profile Analysis identified subgroups based on condom use consistency, partner numbers, and sex frequency among 605 adolescents. Three profiles were identified for each of grades 8 to 10 (Condom Users, Few Partners, and Risk-Takers) and 4 in grades 11 and 12 (Condom Users, One Partner …

Does “High = High Risk”? An Event-Based Analysis of the Relationship Between Substance Use and Unprotected Anal Sex Among Gay and Bisexual Men
Teen Sexual Behavior
We examined the utility of the theory of reasoned action for predicting sexual intercourse among teenagers and determined whether it holds for both genders and for those with and without prior sexual experience. The data include 749 students who were in 9th-11th grades when the predictors were measured and in 10th-12th grades when sexual intercourse was assessed. About half (53%) were girls, about half (48%) were non-Hispanic European Americans. …
Psychological Distress and Substance Use by Adolescent Mothers
This study examines associations between psychological distress and alcohol and drug use across the first five years of raising a child and parenting quality at child age six for 185 adolescent mothers. Overall, alcohol and other drug use in this sample was relatively low, but drug use was associated with more mother-reported unrealistic expectations of child behavior and more attributions of child intent to annoy parent by misbehaving. Maternal …
Daily data collection of sexual and other health‐related behaviors
Is daily data collection of sexual and other health‐related behaviors reactive? This question was examined by exploring trends in daily reports of sexual intercourse, condom use, drinking, smoking, and vegetable and fruit consumption over a 2‐month period. The trends were examined for evidence of fatigue effects and socially desirable responding. The effects of data collection method and gender were also examined. Results from a hierarchical line…
Toward an Understanding of (Em)Power(Ment) for HIV/Aids Prevention with Adolescent Women
Daily data collection
This paper compares three methods for daily data collection to examine the co‐occurrence of intoxication and unsafe sex at the incident level. Sexually transmitted disease clinic clients and sexually active college students were randomized to complete either written daily diaries, daily telephone interviews they initiated, or daily telephone interviews initiated by project staff, for a period of 4 weeks. The three methods are compared on rates of…
Beliefs About Substance Use Among Pregnant and Parenting Adolescents
Although substance use among pregnant and parenting adolescents has serious health implications for both mother and infant, few studies have investigated the predictors of such behavior. The present study, based on the Theory of Reasoned Action, tracked substance use behavior, intentions, attitudes, perceived social norms, and beliefs from pregnancy to 12 months postpartum in a cohort of 255 US adolescents (mean age, 16 years). Documented was a p…
Childbearing Adolescents and Problem Behavior Theory
Understanding problem behavior among adolescent mothers is critical, as their behaviors affect not only their own lives but the lives of their children. Using confirmatory factor analysis with an ethnically diverse sample of 233 pregnant adolescents, we test a hypothesis derived from problem behavior theory that diverse problem behaviors are manifestations of a single underlying construct Three measurement models of problem behaviors are compared…
The Distribution of Power in Exchange Networks
This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the structural determinants of power in exchange networks, along with research findings from laboratory experiments and a computer simulation of bargaining in network structures. Two theoretical traditions are dealth with: (1) point centrality in graph-theoretic representations of structure, as an approach to power distributions; and (2) power dependence principles applied to exchange networks. Measur…

Network Connections and the Distribution of Power in Exchange Networks
This article presents an extension of recent work on exchange networks and specifies theoretically the implications of different types of network connections for the distribution of power. The paper employs power-dependence principles to make predictions concerning the distribution of power in differently organized exchange networks. The results of several laboratory experiments are reported testing these predictions. Computer simulation results …

Sexual behaviors, substance use, and condom use in a sexually transmitted disease clinic sample
In many studies, alcohol and drug use is clearly associated with behaviors that put individuals at risk for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). However, the nature of the association remains unclear. In this study we examined the relationship of condom use with substance use in adults with other sex partners (N = 508) who were seeking services in an STD clinic, engaged in high levels of risky sexual behaviors, and also engaged in high levels of…

Friendship and Deviance
This study examined the relationship between peer attachment and peer deviance. Study participants were fifth-grade students from an urban school district. Approximately half of the sample was male, and subjects represented a variety of racial/ethnic and socioeconomic groups. Subjects were asked questions about each of four best friends including how much they shared thoughts and feelings with the friends (intimacy), and whether they wanted to be…

Rethinking Aids
When basketball hero Magic Johnson recently announced that he had tested positive for HIV, the public naturally assumed it was only a matter of time before he developed full-blown AIDS. But is the link between HIV and AIDS really established? Most physicians now believe that HIV is tantamount to a death sentence. They also believe that AIDS is a fundamentally new disease whose cause remained unknown until the discovery of HIV. That discovery was …
