DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Latinos are one of the fastest growing minority groups in the United States. Of considerable interest has been sexual risk taking in Latino populations and the impact of acculturation-related variables on it. The present research is an analysis of a secondary data base, the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health), that examines sexual risk taking of a nationally representative sample of Latino youth both during adolescence and as they transition to young adulthood. It is a longitudinal analysis of approximately 2,500 Latino adolescents in grades 7 through 12 who were interviewed at three points in time, during adolescence (twice with a one year interval between interviews) and again in young adulthood, some seven years later. The sampling frame oversampled Cuban Americans and Puerto Ricans so that comparative analyses of three Latino subgroups can be undertaken, Mexican Americans, Cuban Americans, and Puerto Ricans. The present study examines social psychological factors impacting sexual behavior as well as dimensions of parenting during adolescence that are predictive of sexual risk taking during both adolescence and young adulthood for Latino youth. The analysis is grounded within the construct of acculturated parenting, which empirically identifies if a given parenting behavior is more typical of the culture of the country of origin or if it is more typical of the host culture. This contextualization has implications for how parenting programs designed to reduce sexual activity are framed to Latino parents. The research also compares the differential impact of parenting variables on adolescent sexual risk taking as a function of Latino subgroup and explores differences in mediators of parental influence. The research will inform the development of interventions aimed at Latino parents to help them reduce sexual risk taking on the part of their adolescent children and to help their children transition to healthy lifestyles during young adulthood. In addition, the research will highlight the importance of parenting variables for adolescents in general.

描述（由申请人提供）：拉丁裔是美国增长最快的少数群体之一。引人注目的是拉丁裔人群的性冒险以及与文化相关的变量对其的影响。本研究是对二级数据库的分析，即全国青少年健康纵向研究（ADD HEALTH），该研究在青春期和过渡到年轻的成年期间都检查了全国代表性的拉丁裔青年样本的性风险。这是对7至12年级的大约2500名拉丁裔青少年的纵向分析，他们在青春期进行了三个时间的采访（两次访谈之间的一年间隔一年），大约在七年后的年轻人成年。抽样框架过采样了古巴美国人和波多黎各人，因此可以对三个拉丁裔亚组进行比较分析，墨西哥裔美国人，古巴美国人和波多黎各人。本研究研究了影响性行为的社会心理因素以及青春期育儿的维度，这些因素可预测拉丁裔青年在青春期和成年期间的性风险。该分析基于适应育儿的结构，从经验上鉴定给给定的育儿行为是否更典型地是原产国文化的典型代表，或者它是宿主文化的典型特征。这种上下文化对旨在减少性活动的育儿计划的含义具有影响。这项研究还比较了育儿变量对青少年性风险采取的差异影响与拉丁裔亚组的关系，并探讨了父母影响的介体的差异。这项研究将告知针对拉丁裔父母的干预措施的发展，以帮助他们减少青春期孩子的性风险，并帮助他们的孩子在成年期间过渡到健康的生活方式。此外，该研究将突出育儿变量对一般的青少年的重要性。
