TL;DR: The findings demonstrate a consistent pattern of health risk behaviors and adverse biological outcomes associated with less perceived parental monitoring and additional research needs to focus on developing theoretical models that help explain the influence of familial environment on adolescent health.

Ralph J. DiClemente,Gina M. Wingood,Gina M. Wingood,Richard A. Crosby,Richard A. Crosby,Brenda K. Cobb,Brenda K. Cobb,Kathy Harrington,Kathy Harrington,Susan L. Davies,Susan L. Davies +10 more
TL;DR: The findings demonstrate the importance of involving parents in human immunodeficiency virus/sexually transmitted disease and pregnancy prevention efforts directed at female adolescents and Pediatricians and other clinicians can play an important role in facilitating parent-adolescent communication about sexual activity.

TL;DR: It is suggested that psychological distress is predictive over a 6-month period of a spectrum of STD/HIV-associated sexual behaviors and high-risk attitudes and should be considered as one potential risk factor that may impact program efficacy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sexual risk behaviors associated with having older sex partners: a study of Black adolescent females.
Ralph J. DiClemente,Gina M. Wingood,Richard A. Crosby,Catlainn Sionean,Brenda K. Cobb,Kathy Harrington,Susan L. Davies,Edward W. Hook,M. Kim Oh +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that many adolescent females have sex partners who are at least 2 years older and that their relationship dynamics do not favor the adoption and maintenance of behavior protective against STD or HIV infection.
Journal Article
Correlates of unprotected vaginal sex among African American female adolescents.
TL;DR: Adolescents' perceptions played an integral role in explaining female adolescents' frequency of UVS with both steady and casual partners, and these findings have implications for clinic- or community-based STD and human immunodeficiency virus prevention programs.
