This book was released on 2013 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quantity and quality of parent-adolescent sexual communication has been suggested as the best predictor on adolescent sexual behavior. The purpose of this study was to test a theoretical model based on the Parent-Based Expansion of the Theory of Planned Behavior (PETPB) examining relationships between selected parental, adolescent and cultural variables and Latino adolescents' intentions to engage in sexual behavior. This study used a cross-sectional correlational design based on a secondary data analysis of 130 Latino parent and adolescent dyads. Regression and path analysis procedures were used to test seven research hypotheses and the results demonstrated partial support for the PETPB theory. For example, parent familism and parent knowledge about pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease were significantly associated with parents' attitudes toward sexual communication with their adolescents. Adolescent knowledge about pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease was significantly associated with higher levels of adolescents' attitudes and subjective norms about sexual communication with parents. Only the predictor of adolescents' attitudes toward having sex in the next 3 months was significantly associated with adolescents' intentions to have sex in the next 3 months. Findings suggested that girls who reported higher levels of parent-adolescent sexual communication were less likely to report favorable attitudes about having sex in the next 3 months; while, boys who reported higher levels parent-adolescent sexual communication were more likely to report positive attitudes to initiate sex in the next 3 months. The present study contributed to filling some of the gaps identified in the review of existing literature such as analyzing adolescents' and parents' reports of parent-adolescent general communication, sexual communication, and comfort with sexual communication, sample of parent/adolescent PETPB theory with and testing the Latino dyads living in the United States. Future studies should continue to explore the influence of parental communication on Latino adolescent sexual behavior based on adolescent gender.

Book excerpt: Most of the studies addressing adolescent sexual behavior in America are asymmetrically focused on either one of boys and girls or one race, primarily African Americans. Studies also are small scale and ethnographic by nature. There is lack of cross-sectional studies addressing both adolescent boys and girls, and African Americans and whites making use of a wide range of variables in terms of their sexual behavior. The present study explores sexual behavior making use of a nationally representative cross-sectional (race and gender) dataset addressing both social structural and demographic variables of interest. The data analyzed by this study were collected by Add Health as the second wave of a longitudinal study of health and well being of American adolescents. This study analyzes data collected from a school based stratified sample of African American and white adolescents only (N = 2834). Eight major determinants of adolescent sexual behavior are explored. These are religiosity, self-esteem, family support, peer group involvement, school attachment, gender, race and age. Five of these variables are developed as additive scale. These scales had Cronbach's coefficient-alpha that ranged from school attachment (.994), religiosity (.993), family support (.796), and self-esteem (.714) to peer group (.309). The other three variables are race, gender, and age which are dichotomized. Dependent variable is sexual activity which is dichotomized as yes and no. Statistically significant relationships are found between school attachment and adolescent sexual behavior, peer group and sexual behavior, age and sexual behavior, family support and sexual behavior, and race and sexual behavior. But self-esteem, religiosity, and gender are found not to have significant relationship with sexual behavior. Results of logistic regression analysis reveals that only school attachment, peer group, race and age are significant predictors of sexual behavior among these adolescents. However, religiosity, self-esteem, family support, and gender are not significant predictors. Further research is recommended to take into account other contextual variables pertinent to social class, neighborhood factor, urbanicity, adolescents' attitudes towards sex, and their perception of parental attitude towards sex because the dataset did not contain them.

Book excerpt: More than 1 million teenage girls in the United States become pregnant each year; nearly half give birth. Why do these young people, who are hardly more than children themselves, become parents? This volume reviews in detail the trends in and consequences of teenage sexual behavior and offers thoughtful insights on the issues of sexual initiation, contraception, pregnancy, abortion, adoption, and the well-being of adolescent families. It provides a systematic assessment of the impact of various programmatic approaches, both preventive and ameliorative, in light of the growing scientific understanding of the topic.
