项目摘要

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。人们相当感兴趣的是拉丁裔人群的性冒险行为以及文化适应相关变量对其的影响。本研究是对二级数据库——国家青少年健康纵向研究（Add Health）的分析，该数据库调查了具有全国代表性的拉丁裔青少年样本在青春期和向成年早期过渡时的性风险行为。这是对大约 2,500 名 7 至 12 年级拉丁裔青少年的纵向分析，他们在三个时间点接受了采访：青春期（两次采访间隔一年）和大约七年后的成年青年期。抽样框架对古巴裔美国人和波多黎各人进行了过度抽样，以便可以对墨西哥裔美国人、古巴裔美国人和波多黎各人这三个拉丁裔亚群进行比较分析。本研究探讨了影响性行为的社会心理因素以及青春期养育方式，这些因素可预测拉丁裔青少年在青春期和成年初期的性冒险行为。该分析以文化教养的结构为基础，根据经验确定特定的教养行为是否更典型地代表原籍国的文化，或者是否更典型地代表东道国文化。这种情境化对于如何向拉丁裔父母制定旨在减少性活动的育儿计划具有影响。该研究还比较了父母教养变量对青少年性冒险行为的不同影响，作为拉丁裔亚群的函数，并探讨了父母影响的中介因素的差异。该研究将为针对拉丁裔父母的干预措施的制定提供信息，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初期过渡到健康的生活方式。此外，该研究还将强调养育变量对青少年的重要性。
