This study examined the relationship between adolescent perceptions of maternal approval of the use of birth control and sexual outcomes across a 12-month period.
A subsample of the Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health database was used in the context of a prospective design. Approximately 10,000 students in grades 7 to 11 were interviewed twice, 1 year apart.
Adolescent perceptions of maternal approval of birth control were associated with an increased likelihood of sexual intercourse over the next 12 months for virgins at wave 1. The perceptions also were related to an increase in birth control use but showed an ambiguous relation to the probability of pregnancy. High relationship satisfaction between adolescents and mothers was associated with a higher probability of birth control use and a lower probability of both sexual intercourse and pregnancy.
The results suggest that perceived parental approval of birth control may increase the probability of sexual activity in some adolescents. "Safer sex" messages must be conveyed by parents with thought and care.
本研究调查了青少年对母亲对使用节育措施的认可的看法与12个月内性相关结果之间的关系。
在一项前瞻性设计中使用了青少年健康纵向研究数据库的一个子样本。对大约10000名7至11年级的学生进行了两次访谈,间隔1年。
在第1波调查中,青少年对母亲认可节育措施的看法与处女在接下来12个月内发生性行为的可能性增加有关。这些看法还与节育措施使用的增加有关,但与怀孕概率的关系不明确。青少年与母亲之间较高的关系满意度与较高的节育措施使用概率以及较低的性行为和怀孕概率相关。
结果表明,父母对节育措施的认可可能会增加一些青少年进行性活动的概率。父母必须谨慎且周全地传达“安全性行为”信息。
