我们以华盛顿五年级学生（平均年龄10.38岁，SD = 0.66）及其父母（N = 408）为样本，研究青春期发育与青少年早期性和非性风险行为及其照顾者的养育行为之间的关系，以及这些风险行为与养育行为之间的关系。报告青春期发育迹象的年轻人比报告没有迹象的学生更有可能从事这些危险行为。青春期的发展是不相关的养育行为，然而，父母的青少年谁报告多种非性风险行为报告更多的亲子沟通性话题。这些结果强调，需要开始风险预防工作早期，青春期发育之前。需要进行研究，以了解父母如何帮助青少年更好地科普青春期的发展，以避免参与性和非性风险行为。
Using a school-based sample of Washington, DC, fifth graders (mean age 10.38, SD = 0.66) and their parents (N = 408), we examined associations of pubertal development with early adolescents' sexual and nonsexual risk behaviors and their caregivers' parenting behaviors; and of these risk behaviors with parenting behaviors. Youths reporting signs of pubertal development were more likely to engage in these risk behaviors than students reporting no signs. Pubertal development was not related to parenting behaviors; however, parents of youths who reported multiple nonsexual risk behaviors reported more parent-child communication about sexual topics. These results highlight the need to begin risk prevention efforts early, prior to pubertal development. Research is needed to understand how parents can help youths better cope with pubertal development to avoid involvement in sexual and nonsexual risk behaviors.
