背景
西班牙裔青少年的性传播感染和怀孕率很高，但很少有研究针对该群体过早性行为的多种保护/风险因素。这项研究考察了德克萨斯州拉美裔中学生早期性行为的两个主要因素——养育方式和文化适应。
方法
我们利用德克萨斯州东南部 15 所城市中学的西班牙裔七年级学生 (N = 655) 的数据，研究了家长监控/亲子沟通有关性健康和性起始之间的关联。
结果
在控制了年龄、性别、父母/监护人教育程度、家庭结构、文化适应水平和干预状态后，父母监测分数每增加 1 分，发生性行为的可能性就会降低 50%（AOR = 0.50；95%CI = 0.34,0.75）。未发现发生过性行为与亲子沟通得分之间存在关联（AOR = 1.29；95% CI = 0.76,2.18）。此外，父母监测在文化适应水平之间存在显着差异，单向方差分析 F(2,652) = 5.07，p < 0.007。这一发现与多变量模型中父母监测启动关联无关。
结论
家长监控可能会延迟西班牙裔中学生的性行为开始时间。父母的监控因文化适应水平而异，值得进一步调查。这些发现可以为以学校为基础、家长参与的干预措施提供信息，这些干预措施旨在延迟西班牙裔青少年的性行为起始时间。
BACKGROUND
Hispanic youths have high rates of sexually transmitted infections and pregnancies, yet little research has targeted multiple protective/risk factors for early sexual initiation in this group. This study examined two main factors--parenting practices and acculturation--on early sexual initiation among Hispanic middle school students in Texas.
METHODS
Using data from Hispanic seventh graders (N = 655) in 15 urban middle schools in southeast Texas, we examined the association between parental monitoring/parent-child communication about sexual health and sexual initiation.
RESULTS
After controlling for age, gender, parent/guardian education, family structure, acculturation level, and intervention status, the likelihood of ever having sex decreased 50% for every 1-point increase in the parental monitoring score (AOR = 0.50;95%CI = 0.34,0.75). No association was found between ever having sex and parent-child communication scores (AOR = 1.29;95%CI = 0.76,2.18). Furthermore, parental monitoring differed significantly between acculturation levels, 1-way analysis of variance F(2,652) = 5.07, p < 0.007. This finding was unrelated to the parental monitoring-initiation association in the multivariable model.
CONCLUSION
Parental monitoring may delay sexual initiation among Hispanic middle school students. Parental monitoring differs by acculturation levels, warranting further investigation. These findings can inform school-based, parent-involved interventions designed to delay sexual initiation among Hispanic youth.
