This article focuses on whether sexual activity is best considered in the same paradigm as adolescent substance use and assault or separately. Among black, inner-city adolescents (N = 705), followed longitudinally since first grade, 3 questions were examined: (1) how these 3 behaviors co-occur, (2) their early family and school precursors, and (3) their relations with adolescent school behavior and parental supervision. The 3 most frequent patterns were compared: no problem behaviors, only sexual activity, and the combination of sexual activity, heavy substance use, and/or assault. In general, the multiproblem adolescents differed from the other adolescents in their behavior and parental supervision. While sex-only males were similar to the no-problem males, sex-only-females differed from the no-problem girls in their family origins. These results suggest that by examining adolescent behaviors in their co-occurring combinations in epidemiologically defined populations, variations in pathways to deviance can be better understood.
本文关注的是性行为最好是与青少年药物使用及攻击行为放在同一范式下考量，还是应分开考量。在自一年级起就接受纵向跟踪的内城区黑人青少年（N = 705）中，研究了三个问题：（1）这三种行为是如何共同出现的；（2）它们早期的家庭和学校方面的先兆因素；（3）它们与青少年在校行为及父母监管的关系。对三种最常见的模式进行了比较：无问题行为、仅有性行为以及性行为、大量药物使用和/或攻击行为的组合。总体而言，存在多种问题的青少年在行为和父母监管方面与其他青少年有所不同。虽然仅有性行为的男性与无问题的男性相似，但仅有性行为的女性在家庭出身方面与无问题的女孩不同区别。这些结果表明，通过在流行病学定义的人群中研究青少年行为的共同出现组合，可以更好地理解越轨行为的不同路径。
