However, current sexuality education materials are not tailored to fit the needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) youth, and many have been critiqued for disenfranchising these populations. This study solicited the perspectives of LGBTQ youth on their experiences with school-based sexuality education in order to create a framewo…

Acculturation and Eating Disorder Symptoms in Adolescent Girls
We examine the relation between acculturation and eating disorder symptoms in a normative sample of 920 adolescent girls of high school age. Results indicate that acculturation is positively associated with structured-interview defined partial syndrome eating disorders in Hispanic girls (13.6% vs. 0% prevalence rate in more acculturated vs. less acculturated Hispanic girls), but not Asian or European American girls. There was no relation between …
Family Relationships and Gender as Predictors of Romantic Intimacy in Young Adults: A Longitudinal Study
In a longitudinal study of the influence of gender and family factors on young adult romantic intimacy, we assessed at Time 1 (T1) family cohesion, flexible family control, respect for privacy and parents' marital satisfaction. Six years later, at Time 2 (T2), intimacy was assessed by 3 self-report measures: happiness in love, problems of insufficient intimacy, and romantic attachment style. Participants (n = 122; 60 men, 62 women) and their fami…
