The association between adolescent sexual behavior and problem behaviors is assessed in a sample of male and female adolescents from the NLSY. Preliminary analyses indicate that there are linear associations between age and sexual status (virgin, sexually active but never pregnant, or parents) and involvement in four types of problem behaviors: school-related, personal violence, drug use, and stealing. Log-linear models are being tested to formally test these relationships and how they might differ among males and females, and to further assess the effects of other independent variables (e.g., religiosity, urban vs. rural, SES, etc.).
