本研究通过研究社区背景对经历性交可能性的影响以及对首次性交后性行为的两个方面（性交一致性和频率）的影响，为探索背景因素对青少年生育能力的影响的文献做出了贡献。我们采用多层次策略，结合了 566 名黑人和 1,286 名非黑人青春期女性的全国代表性样本的总体和个人数据，来检验有关广泛社区特征的假设。我们的研究结果表明，两个种族青少年首次性交和随后性行为的可能性受到许多社区特征的影响，包括社会解体、社会经济地位、宗教信仰、女性劳动力参与、人口构成和计划生育服务的可用性。
The present study contributes to the literature that explores the implications of contextual factors for adolescent fertility by examining the effects of community context on the likelihood of experiencing sexual intercourse and on two aspects of sexual behavior subsequent to first intercourse: intercourse consistency and frequency. We use a multilevel strategy incorporating aggregate- and individual-level data for nationally representative samples of 566 black and 1,286 non-black adolescent women to test hypotheses about a wide range of community characteristics. Our results suggest that the likelihood of first intercourse and subsequent sexual behavior among teens of both races are shaped by a number of community characteristics, including social disorganization, socioeconomic status, religiosity, female labor force participation, population composition, and family planning service availability.
