Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African American (AA) adolescents are currently at disproportionate risk for HIV infection, with AA youth ages 13 through 19 accounting for 56% of all new HIV cases, a rate of infection 8 times that of Caucasian youth. Prevention researchers have targeted this population with a sense of urgency, resulting in numerous studies that have investigated predictors of sexual risk behaviors among AA youth. The results of these studies have yielded findings in a number of domains including environmental, individual, and interpersonal factors. However, reported findings are often inconsistent and synthesis of findings in this area is lagging. The present study synthesized data from 79 studies examining 11 domains of variables in association with 3 outcome variables: Unprotected Sex, Condom Use, and Multiple Sex partners. Intentions and partner variables were most predictive of sexual risk behaviors in this population. Further research is needed to investigate the role of partner-related influences in predicting sexual risk behaviors.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sex on television has nearly doubled since 1998 while sexual risk and responsibly messages have decreased. During this time frame, television watching has become one of the most popular pastimes in the United States, especially among Black/African Americans. Black youth are more likely to report higher levels of satisfaction with television images and view characters as more realistic than the average youth. Here, we examine how viewing higher amounts of television affects certain sexual behaviors of Black female adolescents using data from the 2007 Youth Risk Behavioral Surveillance Survey. Results indicate that the number of television hours viewed on an average school day was significantly related to initiating sexual intercourse before the age of 14, condom use, and contraceptive use to prevent pregnancy for all adolescent females in the sample. Though the number of television hours viewed on an average day was not significantly related to the sexual behaviors of Black adolescent females, this group was more likely to initiate sex before 14, report having 3 or more lifetime sexual partners, and more likely to report using condoms at last intercourse than their female counterparts in any other racial group. Black female adolescents who watched 5 or more hours of television, however, were almost four times more likely to report using any form of contraceptive to prevent pregnancy than their white counterparts. These findings suggest that the amount of television watched on an average school day does not influence the sexual behaviors of Black female adolescents in high school. More research is needed to determine the effect television has on Black female adolescents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper estimates the impact of family structure and family context on risky sexual behavior among African-Americans. The research on adolescent sexual behavior finds that youth are more likely to engage in sexual activity at an earlier age and have more partners when they are not raised in two-parent households. This is a concern for African-Americans because they are less likely to live in two-parent families and are also more likely to be sexually active. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health, we find that adolescents in cohabitating and step-parent households are more likely to engage in sexual activity and have more partners, compared to their counterparts in two-parent households. We also find differential effects by gender, with family structure and context having a stronger effect on young females. This is an important result because it shows the negative effects of family disruptions in the African-American community.

Book excerpt: Adolescent risky sexual behaviors such as early sexual debut, low rates of condom use, and high rates of partner change are associated with a number of negative health and social outcomes including contracting sexual transmitted infections and unintended pregnancy. Utilizing a sample of 529 African American adolescents, this study examines the contributions of parenting behaviors and family structure as factors associated with engagement in risky sexual behavior. Participants reported few differences in mother's parenting across family structures. While fathers and relatives provided greater responsiveness on average than stepfathers. Variation in parenting fully explained differences in risky sexual behavior for males. Yet family structure differences persisted for females, with females in mother step-father homes continually engaging in greater mean risky sexual behavior than those in mother-father households even after accounting for parental responsiveness and demandingness. Implications for prevention and intervention are discussed.

Book excerpt: Adolescence is a time when youth make decisions, both good and bad, that have consequences for the rest of their lives. Some of these decisions put them at risk of lifelong health problems, injury, or death. The Institute of Medicine held three public workshops between 2008 and 2009 to provide a venue for researchers, health care providers, and community leaders to discuss strategies to improve adolescent health.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to explore ethnic identity as a protective factor against sexual activity among a sample of African American adolescents. The study sample consisted of 1084 African American adolescents who were administered a survey comprised of questions about their health, risk behaviors, and their backgrounds. The variables examined were sexual intercourse, ethnic identity, parent-child communication regarding specific topics, mother-adolescent conflict and negative communication. The study also examined family structure, educational aspirations, attitudes about sex, self-esteem, refusal skills, lifetime substance use, perceived peer lifetime sexual behavior, age and gender. Analyses conducted examined the relationship between sexual activity and the independent variables as well as associations between two nominal variables. Relationships between interval/ratio variables were investigated. Multiple logistic regression analyses were used to assess whether the relationship between ethnic identity and lifetime sexual intercourse persisted, controlling for individual, family, and social factors. The findings indicate ethnic identity, and individual, family, and peer factors were related to lifetime sexual intercourse. The effects were stronger for substance use and the influence of peers on sexual behavior. When taking into account the other individual, family, and peer factors, the relationship between ethnic identity and lifetime sexual intercourse was non-significant. Additionally, ethnic identity did not moderate the risk factors explored in this study. Gender differences are clearly delineated in the study with more males having sexual intercourse than females. The results of this study recommend multifaceted interventions that begin as early as elementary school and involve families, schools, communities, and organizations working to promote responsible sexual behavior of adolescents. In addition, the findings of other studies provide support for intervention programs that facilitate the development of ethnic identity, such as youth mentoring programs with a focus on Rites of Passage programs. Interventions should also be developed to include peer groups that are comprised of friends, because of the influence peers have on sexual activity and the engagement in other risk behaviors such as substance use.-- Abstract.

Miller and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has shown that during this time of development, adolescents may encounter obstacles in navigating sexuality, identity, academics, and friendships that can exacerbate risk-taking behavior (WHO, 2018; WHO, 2011). Adolescents tend to participate in higher levels of risky behaviors (id est, unprotected sex, substance use, and violence) compared to individuals over the age of 21 (Duell and others, 2018; Reniers and others, 2016). School and parental connectedness are significant protective factors for health, school success, and overall well-being (Hay and others, 2016). Adolescents who feel a greater connection to their home and school communities are less likely to face damaging health outcomes (id est, sexually transmitted infections [STI], drug abuse, death) connected to substance use, sexual risk, violence, and mental health (CDC, 2019a). Therefor aim of the current study was to examine whether school and parental connectedness in a preadolescent population delays onset of risk behaviors (e.g., initiation of sexual intercourse, initiation of drug, alcohol and tobacco use). The research was conducted using previously collected data from 1115 African American pre-adolescents (age 9-12 at study entry) and their primary caregivers, who were followed longitudinally for three years as part of the Parents Matter! project. The study was conducted using structural equational modeling (SEM) and path analysis to answer the research following questions: (1) Is there an association between school connectedness and risk-taking behavior (id est, risky sexual behavior and alcohol and drug use) among African American youth?, (2) Is there an association between parental connectedness and risk-taking behavior (id est, risky sexual behavior and alcohol and drug use) among African American youth?, (3)Does school connectedness moderate the relationship between parental connectedness and risk-taking behaviors for African American preadolescents?, (4) Does gender moderate the relationship between parental connectedness and risk-taking behaviors for African American preadolescents?, and (5) Does SES moderate the relationship between parental connectedness and risk-taking behaviors for African American preadolescents? Each research question was examined from two perspectives: the perspective of the parent and the perspective of the preadolescent. Results from analyses indicated a significant association between school connectedness and risk-taking behaviors for both the preadolescent and parent models, although the correlation was in opposite directions (id est, negative correlation for preadolescents, positive correlations for parents) (Research Question 1). The results also revealed a significant correlation between parental connectedness and risk-taking behavior (Research Question 2). Gender moderated a significant correlation between parental connectedness and risk-taking behavior according to parent reports, however the preadolescent model only indicated a significant correlation for females as it pertains to parental connectedness and risk-taking behavior in African American preadolescents (Research Question 4). SES moderated a significant relationship between parental connectedness and child sexual behavior in all three SES categories in the parent model and in the low SES category in the preadolescent model. The preadolescent model also a revealed significant correlation between parental connectedness and substance use in the Low and Moderate SES categories (Research Question5). Results for both parent and preadolescent models yielded no significant correlation when school connectedness moderated the relationship between parental connectedness and risk-taking behavior (Research Question 3). The results of this study offer significant additions to the field of psychology, particularly within the treatment and study of risk-taking behavior reduction in African American preadolescents. Limitations regarding sampling, measures, and data analyses were taken into consideration when analyzing the results and implications of the study. Implications associated with theory, future research, and clinical practice were taken into consideration.
