Drawing on DeLamater's conceptual model of premarital contraceptive activity, this study assessed the relationships between various social, developmental, and behavioral variables and contraceptive risk taking by sexually active adolescent females. The hypotheses were tested on a national random sample of unmarried sexually active adolescent females (n = 1512) ages 15-20 years from Cycle III of the National Survey of Family Growth. The number of years the subjects had been sexually active was the strongest predictor of their frequency of sexual intercourse, followed by their frequency of attendance at religious services. The inverse relationship between religious attendance and coital frequency was much stronger among whites than blacks. When the influence of these variables on contraceptive risk taking was assessed, coital frequency explained 7.2% of the variation in contraceptive risk taking, with the number of years the adolescent had been dating explaining a small amount of additional variation. Our data support not only the first stage of DeLamater's conceptual model of premarital contraceptive activity, but also aspects of Jessor's more general theory of adolescent risk taking and problem behavior.
本研究借鉴德拉马特的婚前避孕行为概念模型，评估了各种社会、发育和行为变量与性活跃的青春期女性避孕冒险行为之间的关系。这些假设在全国随机抽取的15至20岁未婚性活跃青春期女性样本（n = 1512）上进行了检验，该样本来自全国家庭成长调查第三轮。研究对象性活跃的年限是其性交频率的最强预测因素，其次是她们参加宗教仪式的频率。白人中宗教活动参与率与性交频率之间的反比关系比黑人中要强得多。在评估这些变量对避孕冒险行为的影响时，性交频率解释了避孕冒险行为变异的7.2%，青少年约会的年限解释了少量的额外变异。我们的数据不仅支持德拉马特婚前避孕行为概念模型的第一阶段，也支持杰索尔关于青少年冒险和问题行为的更一般理论的各个方面。
