We request support for continuation of a previously funded project lasting 14 months searching for environmental etiologies of adolescent sexuality and deviance. We have used high-quality data, a conceptual framework separating common and unique environmental influences, and analyses that link to both the data and the conceptual framework. Our general approach has involved constructing adolescent pairs that reflect different shared environments: siblings, classmates, and friends. The strongest results we obtained were for siblings, for whom we have shown influence and similarity for both sexuality and deviance. During the course of our previous work, we have noted some deficiencies in our data -- including lack of generality, small sample sizes, and limitations in the measures of deviance. In the proposed continuation of this research, we plan to link the work we have done on the ADSEX data with additional analyses of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) dataset, a national probability sample of households that includes thousands of sibling pairs within the dataset. Measures of sexuality (weaker than those in the ADSEX data) and measures of deviance (stronger than those in the ADSEX data) are included in the NLSY data. In addition, we have developed contagious, "epidemic" models of the transmission of onset of sexuality, smoking, and drinking. Another goal is to explore their usefulness as explanations of the "spread" of social behaviors among adolescents. The long-range goal of this project is as in our original proposal: To develop a more complete understanding of the environmental influences on adolescent sexual and deviant behavior. Such understanding will help identify the appropriate arenas to which adolescent sexuality and adolescent pregnancy research and programs should be addressed.

我们请求支持继续先前资助的项目 历时14个月寻找环境病因 青少年的性行为和异常行为。 我们使用了高质量的数据， 区分常见和独特环境的概念框架 影响和分析与数据和 概念框架。 我们的一般方法包括 构建反映不同共同点的青少年配对 环境：兄弟姐妹、同学、朋友。 最强 我们获得的结果是针对兄弟姐妹的，我们已经为他们展示了 性和越轨行为的影响和相似性。 在我们之前的工作中，我们注意到一些 我们的数据存在缺陷——包括缺乏通用性、规模较小 样本量以及偏差测量的限制。 在这项研究的拟议延续中，我们计划将 我们对 ADSEX 数据所做的工作以及对 全国青少年纵向调查 (NLSY) 数据集 包含数千个兄弟姐妹的家庭的概率样本 数据集中的对。 性行为的测量（弱于那些 在 ADSEX 数据中）和偏差测量（强于那些 ADSEX 数据中）包含在 NLSY 数据中。 此外，我们还开发了具有传染性的“流行病”模型 性行为、吸烟和饮酒的传播。 其他 目标是探索它们作为“传播”解释的有用性 青少年的社会行为。 该项目的长期目标与我们最初的提案相同： 对环境有更全面的了解 对青少年性行为和异常行为的影响。 这样的 理解将有助于确定适当的领域 青少年性行为和青少年怀孕研究和计划 应该得到解决。
