Ethnographic interview guide.
The importance of family and the role of the extended network, dimensions of famillism, were evident in such patterns as respect for self and family, protection of self, child, and family. The protectiveness of families toward girls, gender differences in rules, value of virginity, and the importance of having a family, were findings consistent with Latino gender roles. However, there were also some important deviations from these roles. For example, virginity, although important, was not associated with religious doctrine of practice. The necessity of preventing pregnancy was also considered important.
Latino cultural values need to be incorporated in primary and secondary prevention efforts to decrease the risk associated with early and unprotected sexual activity.

家庭的重要性以及大家庭网络的作用，即家庭主义的维度，在尊重自我和家庭、保护自我、孩子和家庭等模式中很明显。家庭对女孩的保护、规则中的性别差异、贞操的价值以及组建家庭的重要性，这些发现与拉丁裔性别角色一致。然而，也存在一些与这些角色的重要偏差。例如贞操虽然重要，但与宗教教义实践并无关联。预防怀孕的必要性也被认为很重要。
拉丁裔文化价值观需要纳入初级和二级预防措施中，以降低与早期无保护性行为相关的风险。
