目的：探讨父母与青少年之间的沟通水平，并将调查结果与性交的发生相关联。受试者在每次卫生监督访视时填写问卷。本文中的数据是在入组时和Ei年时收集的。在研究开始时，首先比较了处女和非处女组之间的父母沟通。然后通过将在研究的前5年内转换的处女组患者的数据添加到非处女组来证实结果。来自威斯康星州米德尔顿的儿科医生实践小组的203名12-21岁的患者进行了研究。调查问卷询问了学生的成绩和学校活动，与兄弟姐妹和父母的关系，以及涉及酒精，毒品和与同龄人发生性关系的冒险行为。统计分析包括Student t检验，以确定组间的平均差异。Fisher精确检验用于评估变量与患者入组时性活动状态的相关性。多元Logistic回归进行初步招募数据，以检查初始协变量和患者的sexualstatus.Results之间的关联：在最初的调查，172名患者在处女组和31在nonvirginal组。在调整了年龄因素后，处女组与父母的沟通得分更高（p <0.001）。为了验证这些发现，我们检查了另外29例在研究的前5年内转变为非处女状态的处女组患者。然后，我们比较了转变为非处女状态的亚组与保持处女状态的亚组之间的沟通水平。即使校正年龄后，与母亲的沟通显着更好的患者谁保持他们的童贞状态（p <0.01）。结论：青少年谁认为他们有一个更好的水平与他们的父母沟通不太可能从事性交。(C)青少年医学协会，2000年。
Objective: To examine the level of communication between parents and adolescents and correlate the findings with onset of sexual intercourse.Methods: This was a 10-year longitudinal study. Subjects filled out questionnaires at the time of each health supervision visit. The data in this article were harvested at enrollment and at the Ei-year point. Comparisons of adolescent-parental communication were first compared between the virginal and nonvirginal groups at the initiation of the study. The results were then confirmed by adding data from patients in the virginal group who converted over the first 5 years of the study to the nonvirginal group. Two hundred and three patients, aged 12-21 years, were studied from a pediatrician's practice panel in Middleton, Wisconsin. The questionnaires inquired about grades and activities school, relationship with siblings and parents at home, and risk-taking behaviors involving alcohol, drugs, and sex with peers. Statistical analysis included the Student's t-test to determine the mean difference between groups. Fisher's exact test was used to evaluate the association of variables to the status of patients' sexual activity at enrollment. Multiple logistic regression was conducted on the initial enrollment data to examine the association between the initial covariates and patients' sexual status.Results: During the initial survey, 172 enrolled patients were in the virginal group and 31 in the nonvirginal group. The virginal group had a higher rating of communication with their parents after adjusting for age (p < .001). To verify these findings, we examined an additional 29 patients in the virginal group who converted to nonvirginal status during the first 5 years of the study. We then compared the level of adolescent-parental communication between the subgroup who converted to nonvirginal status with the level of communication of the subgroup who remained virgins. Even after correcting for age, communication with the mother was significantly better in patients who maintained their virginal status (p < .01).Conclusions: Teenagers who perceive that they have a better level of communication with their parents are less likely to engage in sexual intercourse.
