这项研究调查了 15 至 23 岁青少年的性危险行为轨迹以及与这些轨迹相关的因素。样本是 1997 年全国青少年纵向调查中的 5,419 名青少年。使用基于组的轨迹建模，确定了五个独特的轨迹组。在观察到的年龄中，高组的风险轨迹较高且增加。下降组的风险轨迹在 19 岁之前加速，但之后下降。早期增加组和晚期增加组的风险轨迹在 15 岁时较低，但分别从 16 岁和 18 岁开始显着增加。随着时间的推移，低组的参与者仍处于低风险状态。性危险行为也与饮酒、吸食大麻和犯罪呈正相关。结果强调，需要采取干预措施来考虑性危险行为的发育时间及其与其他问题行为的关联。
This study examined the trajectories of sexual risk behaviors among adolescents from ages 15 to 23 and factors associated with those trajectories. The sample was 5,419 adolescents from the 1997 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Using group-based trajectory modeling, five distinctive trajectory groups were identified. The High group had a high and increased risk trajectory over the observed ages. The Decreased group had a risk trajectory that accelerated before age 19, but decreased afterwards. The risk trajectories of the Increased-Early and Increased-Late groups were low at age 15 but increased significantly starting at ages 16 and 18 for the groups, respectively. Participants in the Low group remained at low risk over time. Sexual risk behaviors were also positively associated with alcohol use, marijuana use, and delinquency. Results highlight the need for intervention efforts to consider developmental timing of sexual risk behaviors and their associations with other problem behaviors.
