这份简短的报告调查了青少年与父母和大家庭的性交流。它比较了早为人父母的青少年（那些在青少年时期生了孩子的人）和晚为人父母的青少年（那些在有孩子的时候已经成年的人）谈论性的情况。 24 所学校的八年级学生 (N=1281) 完成了有关性沟通的调查项目。结构方程模型用于预测沟通概况，同时调整学生在学校内的嵌套情况。在控制了青少年的年龄、性别、种族/族裔、成绩、父母/监护人的亲密程度、调查回答的社会期望性以及家庭状况和家庭收入中位数后，结果显示，早期（青少年）为人父母的青少年比后来（成年）为人父母的青少年更有可能与父母双方和大家庭谈论性，而比后来为人父母的人只与父母交谈的可能性更低。这些发现表明，早年为人父母的青少年的青少年性交流的现实可能会超出父母与青少年的模式，包括大家庭。大家庭参与教育推广是支持早育青少年性健康的潜在未开发资源。
This brief report examined teenagers’ sexuality communication with their parents and extended families. It compared who teens of early parents (those who had children when they were adolescents) and teens of later parents (those who were adults when they had children) talk to about sex. Eighth grade students (N=1281) in 24 schools completed survey items about their communication about sex. Structural equation modeling was used to predict communication profiles, while adjusting for the nesting of students within schools. After controlling for teens’ age, gender, race/ethnicity, grades, parent/guardian closeness, and social desirability of survey responses, as well as family status and median family income, results showed that teens of early (teen) parents were more likely than teens of later (adult) parents to talk with both parents and extended family about sex and less likely than later parents to talk only with parents. These findings indicate that realities of teen sexuality communication for teens of early parents may extend beyond a parent-teen model to include extended family. Extended family involvement in educational outreach is a potential untapped resource to support sexual health for teens of early parents.
