Patterns of Parent-Teen Sexual Risk Communication: Implications for Intervention
Abstract
This study describes current patterns of parent-teen sexual communication and investigates the influence of such communication on the sexual attitudes and behaviors of older adolescent females in the US. Data were collected from a statewide random sample of 173 young women aged 19-20 years through structured telephone interviews. Young women in this study reported low to moderate levels of parent-teen sexual risk communication with particularly low rates of father-teen sexual communication. African Americans reported higher rates than Caucasians. Sexual risk communication with mothers was associated with higher condom use self-efficacy and sexual communication with partners. For young women parent-teen sexual risk communication could potentially make a significant difference in reducing sexual risk-taking behavior via its effects on these behaviors. Implications of findings for future research and family interventions are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
