An 'Epidemic' Model of Adolescent Sexual Intercourse: Applications to National Survey Data Journal of Biosocial Science 23,2 (1991): 211-219. Also: http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPage=online&aid=1637492&fulltextType=RA&fileId=S0021932000019222 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Cambridge University Press Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Hispanics; Modeling; Sexual Activity; Sexual Experiences/Virginity Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper applies models of the onset of adolescent sexual intercourse using nation data from Denmark and the USA. The model gave excellent fits to data on Danish Whites and a good fit to American Whites, but the model-fits for American Blacks and Hispanics were not as good. The weakness of the latter model fits may reflect either real processes that the model does not capture or problems in the reliability of adolescent sexuality data. |
