UNLABELLED
Background The identification of antecedents to sexual risk among youth is critical to the development and dissemination of multilevel interventions. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to examine the effect of sexual sensation-seeking on partner age, partner communication, and the sexual attitudes and behaviours of African-American female youth.
METHODS
This study examined survey data collected by audio computer-assisted self-interviews from 701 young African-American females between 14 and 20 years of age. The survey consisted of items designed to measure adolescents' sexual risk and preventive behaviours.
RESULTS
The results of this study suggest that sexual sensation-seeking is associated with condom use among adolescent African-American females. For adolescents who reported greater sexual sensation-seeking, lower levels of sexual happiness were associated with a decreased likelihood of condom use at last intercourse (β=1.01, P≤0.05). For those reporting lower levels of sexual sensation-seeking, greater sexual enjoyment was associated with a greater likelihood of condom use at last intercourse (β=0.93, P≤0.01). Adolescents with younger sexual partners and lower levels of sexual sensation-seeking reported a higher proportion of condom use in the past 6 months (β=0.70, P=0.01). Higher partner communication self-efficacy and decreasing levels of sexual sensation-seeking were associated with fewer lifetime sexual partners (β=-0.54, P≤0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
Future research should address the impact of these variables on adolescent relationship dynamics and sexual decision-making.

背景 识别青少年性风险的前因对于多层次干预措施的开发和推广至关重要。因此，本研究的目的是检验性冒险寻求对非裔美国女青少年的性伴侣年龄、与性伴侣的沟通以及性态度和性行为的影响。
方法
本研究调查了通过音频计算机辅助自我访谈收集的701名年龄在14至20岁之间的非裔美国年轻女性的调查数据。该调查包括旨在测量青少年性风险和预防行为的项目。
结果
本研究结果表明，性冒险寻求与非裔美国青少年女性使用避孕套有关。对于报告有更高性冒险寻求的青少年，较低的性幸福感与上次性交时使用避孕套的可能性降低有关（β=1.01，P≤0.05）。对于那些报告性冒险寻求水平较低的青少年，更高的性快感与上次性交时使用避孕套的可能性更大有关（β=0.93，P≤0.01）。有较年轻性伴侣且性冒险寻求水平较低的青少年在过去6个月中报告的避孕套使用率更高（β=0.70，P=0.01）。更高的与性伴侣沟通的自我效能感和性冒险寻求水平的降低与终身性伴侣数量减少有关（β=-0.54，P≤0.05）。
结论
未来的研究应探讨这些变量对青少年关系动态和性决策的影响。
