To examine the relationship between SMS/social media use and sexual behavior among Latino adolescents.
Four hundred twenty-eight 9(th)- and 10(th)-grade Latino adolescents were recruited to participate in a survey. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to examine associations between new media use and sexual behaviors.
There is a significant association between frequency of SMS/social media use and sexual behavior after controlling for age, gender, survey language, and nativity.
Latino adolescents using SMS and social media at higher frequencies are more likely to have ever had sex. Future research must continue to explore this relationship.
研究拉丁裔青少年使用短信/社交媒体与性行为之间的关系。
招募了428名九年级和十年级的拉丁裔青少年参与一项调查。进行了双变量和多变量分析,以检验新媒体使用与性行为之间的关联。
在控制了年龄、性别、调查语言和出生地之后,短信/社交媒体的使用频率与性行为之间存在显著关联。
频繁使用短信和社交媒体的拉丁裔青少年更有可能有过性行为。未来的研究必须继续探索这种关系。
