Determining predictors of sexual transitions is essential for developing health interventions.
Adolescents (13-16 years) completed baseline and 6-month surveys assessing psychosocial factors and sexual behavior.
Lower self-esteem for boys and higher lifetime alcohol use for girls predicted transitions to more intimate sex. These differential profiles may warrant tailored health initiatives.

青少年(13-16 岁)完成了基线和 6 个月的调查,评估了心理社会因素和性行为。
