Psychosocial Predictors of Adolescent Sexual Risk Behavior: A Quasi-Experimental Analysis in a Nationally Representative Sample of American Youths Journal of Adolescent Health 54,2 (February 2014): S15-S16.

Using a sibling comparison approach, we tested whether associations between measures of childhood psychosocial adjustment (i.e., early dating, substance use, and emotional and behavioral problems) and adolescent sexual risk behavior (i.e., early age at first intercourse and number of past-year sexual partners) remained after controlling for confounds shared by full siblings and maternal half siblings who differed in their exposure to each risk factor. Next, using quantitative genetic modeling, we also estimated the extent to which these associations were attributable to shared genetic, shared environmental, or nonshared environmental influences. |
