本文探讨了人口，社会文化和风险倾向性指标的影响，在第一次性交的年龄，终身性伴侣的数量，和怀孕的数量在670个拉丁美洲青少年的样本招募14-19岁从两个公共资助的计划生育诊所。文化适应占一个小的，但统计学上显着的量的变化解释所有三个生殖行为。较少的文化适应与开始性交的年龄较大，一生中的性伴侣较少有关。更少的怀孕。物质实验与更早的首次性行为和更多的性伴侣有关，但与更少的怀孕有关。性别角色取向仅对初次性交年龄有显著影响。更传统的年轻女性在初次性行为时年龄更大。这些结果表明，性别角色取向是重要的延迟第一次性交，但一旦性，活跃，文化适应和物质实验成为更重要的影响拉丁裔青少年之间的性风险。
This article explores the influence of demographic, sociocultural, and risk proneness indicators on age at first intercourse, number of lifetime sexual partners, and number of pregnancies in a sample of 670 Latina adolescents age 14-19 recruited from two publicly funded family planning clinics. Acculturation accounted for a small but statistically significant amount of the variation explained for all three reproductive behaviors. Being less acculturated was associated with older age at initiation of sexual intercourse, fewer lifetime sexual partners. and fewer pregnancies. Substance experimentation was associated with earlier sexual debut and more sexual partners but with fewer pregnancies. Gender role orientation was significant only for age at first intercourse. More traditional young women were older at sexual debut. These results suggest that gender role orientation is important for delaying first intercourse, but once sexually, active, acculturation and substance experimentation become more important influences on sexual risk taking among Latina adolescents.
