Released/updated on: 2015-04-24
Geographic coverage: United States
The study is focused on Latino and African American adolescents in grades 11 and 12 and their parents. Adolescents are recruited from public high schools in the Bronx borough of New York, NY, and are prospectively followed. The study identifies explanatory models of couple sexual risk behavior among a sample of unmarried, non-cohabiting Latino and African American high school-aged dyads that are romantically linked, as well as their parents. The study measures characteristics that individual members bring to couple sexual activity, and parental monitoring of sexual behavior.
