尽管研究人员已经证明，青少年很容易受到以生殖和性自主为重点的强迫，但评估青少年女性和男性这种强迫的措施尚未在以人口为基础的样本中得到验证。本研究使用了从肯塔基州的高中生中收集的二手数据（n= 16,137，来自2010年和2014年的两个独立样本），以确定衡量青少年生殖和性胁迫（ARSC）的五个项目是否适用于女性和男性；2)按性别估计已确定的ARSC因素的患病率。对于男性和女性，在给定测量项目的情况下，结果支持由言语关系操纵和避孕干预组成的ARSC双因素模型。性别的测量不变性也得到了支持。其他研究结果表明，ARSC及其相关亚量表的患病率很高。大约每10名女性中有4名和每10名男性中有3名报告在去年经历过ARSC，几乎所有报告避孕干预的人也报告了口头关系操纵。研究结果表明，言语关系操纵和避孕干预（共同形成ARSC）可能会限制女性和男性青少年的自主性和生殖决策。
Though researchers have documented that adolescents are vulnerable to coercion focused on reproductive and sexual autonomy, measures to assess this type of coercion for both adolescent females and males have not been validated in a population-based sample. The present study used secondary data collected from high school students across Kentucky (n= 16,137 from two independent samples in 2010 and 2014) to 1) determine if five items measuring adolescent reproductive and sexual coercion (ARSC) are appropriate for use among both females and males; and 2) estimate prevalence of identified ARSC factors by sex. For both male and females, given measurement items, the results supported a two-factor model of ARSC comprised of 1) verbal relationship manipulation and 2) contraceptive interference. Measurement invariance by sex was also supported. Additional findings indicated the high prevalence of ARSC and its associated subscales. Approximately 4 in 10 females and 3 in 10 males reported experiencing ARSC in the previous year, with almost all of those reporting contraceptive interference also reporting verbal relationship manipulation. Findings suggest verbal relationship manipulation and contraceptive interference (together forming ARSC) may restrict the autonomous sexual and reproductive decision-making of both female and male adolescents.
