Acculturation, Gender Role Orientation, and Reproductive Risk-Taking Behavior among Latina Adolescent Family Planning Clients.

Kaplan, Celia P.; Erickson, Pamela I.; Juarez-Reyes, Maria

Journal of Adolescent Research, v17 n2 p103-21 Mar 2002

Explored the influence of demographic, sociocultural, and risk proneness indicators on age at first intercourse, number of lifetime sexual partners, and number of pregnancies among Latina adolescents. Found gender role orientation delays first intercourse, but following that, acculturation and substance experimentation are more important influences on sexual risk taking. (Author/DLH)
