Effective parenting processes during offspring’s adolescence can reduce sexual risk behavior for those offspring in emerging adulthood. Few studies consider how mothers’ and fathers’ parenting processes cluster together and predict emerging adults’ risky sexual behavior. In this study, we used latent profile analysis (LPA) to identify patterns of teens’ perceptions of their residential mothers’ and fathers’ closeness, disapproval of teen sex, monitoring/presence at home, and communication. Using data from waves one and three of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health), we identified four parenting classes: high disapproval/high closeness (54%), high disapproval/low closeness (7%), low disapproval/high closeness (15%), and moderate disapproval/high closeness (24%). Emerging adults within the high disapproval/high closeness class had lower rates of sexual risk behavior than other classes. These findings show benefits of authoritative parenting styles and suggest parenting processes should be considered in combination, rather than as independent predictors of risk outcomes.

Although siblings are conceptualized as a salient social influence during adolescence, few studies have examined how adolescent siblings influence each other’s substance use and risky sexual behavior. This study’s objective was to investigate the influence of alcohol use days, cannabis use days, and cannabis and alcohol co-use days on the sexual risk behavior of siblings while accounting for dyadic influence. At the baseline visit for a randomized controlled trial for adolescents referred due to parents’ concerns about their substance use (“referred adolescents”; n=99; Mage=15.95), we assessed alcohol and cannabis use days as well as sexual risk behavior of the referred adolescents and their sibling (Mage=15.03). We computed the number of days in the 30 days prior to the baseline that alcohol and cannabis use occurred on the same day. Using a cross-sectional actor partner interdependence model, we tested two models of how adolescents’ substance use is associated with their own (“actor effect”) and their siblings’ (“partner effect”) sexual risk behavior—one model for alcohol and cannabis use, and one model for co-use. Results indicated for referred adolescents and their siblings, within an individual, greater alcohol, cannabis, and co-use was significantly associated with sexual risk behavior (actor effects). Furthermore, more sibling co-use days were positively associated with referred adolescent sexual risk behavior (partner effect), representing interdependence. These findings confirm the influence siblings have on one another’s risky behavior in adolescence and have implications for prevention and intervention efforts for adolescent substance use.

The Relationship

Due to the global burden of HIV, a better understanding of the relationship between substance use and HIV risk behavior is a public health priority, particularly among populations with high rates of HIV infection. The current study explored the moderating effects of psychosocial factors on the relationship between substance use and sexual risk behavior. Among 480 black South African men who have sex with men recruited using respondent-driven sampling, a cross-sectional survey was conducted that included questions about their last sexual event that involved anal sex. Substance use was not associated with unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) ( P = 0.97). The effect of substance use on UAI was modified by safer sex intentions ( P = 0.001). Among those with higher safer sex intentions, substance use was positively associated with UAI (aOR = 5.8, 95%CI = 1.6–21.3, P < 0.01). This study found that among men who have sex with men with high intentions to engage in safer sex, substance use was associated with increased risky sexual behavior.

BACKGROUND: Sexual risk behavior and drug abuse among adolescents and youths remained perpetual topical issues of focus in most developmental programs related to developing countries, especially in Nigeria, where the school-going adolescents constitute more than half of the youths. The high level of teenage pregnancy and sexual violence such as abuses and other harmful trajectories including STIs and HIV is increasingly reported than the pre-2000s. AIM: This study focuses on underscoring the variation in risky sexual behavior among school-going users and non-users of drugs. It also analyzed the predisposing factors of drug use among school-going adolescents in Nigeria. METHODS: In combination with problem behavior theory, the research draws data (n = 11,799) from the 2012 National HIV and AIDS and Reproductive Health Survey (NARHS Plus II) collated by the Federal Ministry of Health in Nigeria with support from the Department for International Development and United States Agency for International Development, to underscore the self-reported sexual risk behavior among students who are users and non-users of drugs. RESULTS: The result revealed that 32.5% (male) and 33.4% (female) use drugs. More than half of the respondents reported that they have engaged in sexual intercourse, 27.3% (male) and 31.8% (female) have had ≥2 lifetime sexual partners. There is higher odds ratio (OR) of risky sexual behavior among students that have ever used drugs or taken alcohol (OR = 2.2, 95% CI [1.8–2.8]) for male and (OR = 2.1, 95% CI [0.83–2.03]) for female. CONCLUSION: The study concludes that continued exposure of school-going youths to drugs or alcohol may pose serious challenge of risky sexual behavior and also severe threat to initiatives on zero new HIV infections or zero new AIDS death in Nigeria. The authors recommend that campaign to discourage drug or alcohol use should be intensified and introduced to all schools.

Permasalah yang sering terjadi pada remaja yaitu perilaku seksual. Konsep diri dapat mempengaruhi perilaku seseorang termasuk perilaku seksual beresiko. Remaja dengan konsep diri rendah rentan melakukan perilaku seksual beresiko tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara konsep diri dengan perilaku seksual beresiko pada remaja. Rancangan penelitian menggunakan deskriptif korelasi dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Populasi pada penelitian ini adalah 449 siswa di SMA “X” Kota Bandung, dengan teknik stratified random sampling didapatkan sampel sebanyak 212 siswa. Instrumen penelitian terdiri dari kuesioner Tennesse Self Concept Scale dan kuesioner perilaku seksual beresiko. Penelitian ini menggunakan analisa data univariat dan bivariat dengan uji spearman rank. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 100% responden memiliki konsep diri yang tinggi, kemudian sebanyak 50,5% responden berperilaku seksual beresiko tinggi. Terdapat hubungan antara konsep diri dengan perilaku seksual beresiko (p=0,018). Disarankan kepada institusi pelayanan kesehatan untuk meningkatkan pendidikan kesehatan mengenai perilaku seksual beresiko pada remaja.   Kata kunci: konsep diri, perilaku seksual beresiko, remaja   THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SELF CONCEPT WITH SEXUAL RISK BEHAVIOR IN ADOLESCENCE   ABSTRACT Adolescence is a period of transition from children to adults, during this time various physical and non-physical developments occur that can increase sexual desire in adolescents. Problem that often occurs in adolescents is sexual behavior. Self-concept can affect a person's behavior including risky sexual behavior. Teenagers with low self-concept are prone to high-risk sexual behavior. This study was descriptive correlative, design with cross sectional approach with aims to know the relationship between self concept with sexual risk behavior in adolescence at one of the high school in Bandung.  The population was 449 students, and used stratified random sampling and obtained samples as many as 212 students. This study used two instruments, Tennesse Self Concept Scale questionnaire and sexual risk behavior questionnaire. This study used univariate dan bivariate with spearman rank data analysis. The results showed that 100% of the respondents have high self concept. Then, 50.5% of respondents behave sexually at high risk. The results of bivariate analysis showed p value <0.05 (0.018) which means there was a correlation between self concept with sexual risk behavior. It is recommended to health service institutions to improve health education regarding risky sexual behavior inadolescents.   Keywords: self-concept, sexual risk behaviour,adolescence
