We examined the range of sexual intentions and behaviors preceding sexual initiation among 211 African-American pre-teens assigned to the control arm of a longitudinal community-based intervention trial. Stage of sexual readiness was assessed using the stage of change construct from the Transtheoretical Model, and patterns of stage movement during a 6-month period were examined. Overall, 90% of participants were in precontemplation at baseline, with the proportion of participants in this stage declining with each year of age. There was substantial stability in stage of sexual readiness during the 6-month period (87% stable). While definitive conclusions regarding exact patterns of movement are not yet possible, stage movement does not appear to be linear for all pre-teens, and there is evidence of both stage progression and regression. We present emerging patterns of stage movement, which suggest potential variation by age, gender, and baseline stage, and discuss potential implications.
我们对211名被分配到一项基于社区的纵向干预试验对照组的非裔美国青少年前期儿童在首次性行为之前的性意图和行为范围进行了研究。使用跨理论模型中的改变阶段结构来评估性准备阶段，并研究了6个月期间的阶段变化模式。总体而言，90%的参与者在基线时处于未考虑阶段，该阶段参与者的比例随年龄增长逐年下降。在6个月期间，性准备阶段有很大的稳定性（87%稳定）。虽然关于确切变化模式的明确结论尚不可能，但对于所有青少年前期儿童来说，阶段变化似乎并非呈线性，并且有阶段进展和倒退的证据。我们展示了阶段变化的新出现模式，这表明可能因年龄、性别和基线阶段而异，并讨论了潜在影响。
