Summary View help for Summary
The primary focus of the survey was three major constructs related to sexuality communication and attitudes: direct communication, indirect communication, and attitudes about sex. Teens were asked to respond to questions about their parents and extended family for questions about direct and indirect communication and attitudes about sex. Teens were also asked about their own attitudes about sex. The survey collected information such as the participant's demographics and connections with family members and teens' sexual behavior.

Study Design View help for Study Design
The online administered Teen-Family Sexuality Communication Survey followed two key definitions: the parental/guardian living situation and the extended family. The survey used a participant's response to who they live with to organize the flow of the survey. The study team assessed which extended family members participants talked with about sex and relationships, or if they did not talk with extended family which extended family member they felt closest with.
The key survey constructs were direct communication and indirect communication, attitudes about sex, demographics, and closeness and comfort talking about sex.
