Sexual Double Standard and Men's Depression: Assessing the Association between Late Sexual Debut during Adolescence and Subsequent Depression in Two Nationally Representative Cohorts Presented: Philadelphia PA, American Public Health Association (APHA) Annual Meeting and Exposition, November 2019 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: American Public Health Association Keyword(s): Age at First Intercourse; Depression (see also CESD); Gender Differences; Sexual Experiences/Virginity Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Introduction: Past research shows that adolescents who initiate sexual activity at a later age have lower risk of subsequent depression. However, this association is likely highly confounded. Our study evaluates whether male and female adolescents who have later sexual debut are less likely to become depressed, as well as whether this association varies by age cohort. Methods: We used nearest neighbor matching on the NLSY79 and NLSY97 surveys, to evaluate the association between age of sexual debut and positive depression screening. We stratified by gender and matched on 11 baseline demographic, family, and sociocultural covariates. We then conducted logistic regressions to predict depression 8-10 years after first coitus was surveyed, based on whose sexual debut came before vs. after the age of eighteen. |
