This dissertation is the first-known study to document associations between timing of first alcohol use and onset of sex and reproduction in males, including examination of differences by respondent sex. Using Problem Behavior Theory (PBT) as a guiding framework, survival analyses were conducted to examine relationships between age at first drink of alcohol and ages at first sex and first childbirth, and transition from first sex to childbirth. Data were drawn from 8,984 males and females from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth 1997 (NLSY97), a nationally-representative sample of respondents born between 1980-1984.
