“…There was only one study that examined the link between pubertal status and age at sexual intercourse [34], and another that studied the link between menarcheal status and sexual intercourse status [51]. Both studies found a significant small positive association between status and sexual intercourse (ESr=.11 and ESr=.19, respectively).…”

“…A report by the Alan Guttmacher Institute (2002) indicated that the average age of first sex for girls was 17.4 years. More recently, it has been established that 40% of U.S. females have had sex by the age of 16 (Johnson & Tyler, 2007). In 2011, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 53% of students had sexual intercourse, of which 33.7% had done so within the past three months, 39.8% did not use a condom the last time they had sex, and 76.7% did not use oral or injected contraceptives.…”

Substance use and sexual risk behaviors continue to be major concerns for today's youths, and are particularly problematic for those who have been placed in out-of-home care settings. The purpose of this study was to explore these associations in a sample of 120 girls placed in a residential treatment setting and attending an on-site school in a major metropolitan area in the Midwest. A modified Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) was administered including questions relating to the youths' foster care or adjudicated status. The substance use variables targeted were alcohol and drug use. The sexual risk behavior variables were age of onset of first sexual intercourse, virginity status, contraceptive use, age of first sexual partner, and experience with ever having been forced to have sex. Results indicate that earlier onset and greater frequency of substance use were both correlated with number of sexual partners. Frequency of substance use was a significant and consistent contributor. Age of sexual partner was an inconsistent contributor, and history of forced sexual activity was not a contributor. Implications for policy and practice are offered to enhance the health and well-being of this unique population.

“…Se considera para esto que el carácter de temprano está dado de manera contextual respecto de la sociedad. 15,19 Se identificaron distintos grupos de edad que hubieran nacido en los mismos años (como aproximación a cohortes de nacimiento) y que fueran comparables en las encuestas, a fin de estimar la proporción de población sexualmente activa antes de los 20 años y antes de los 16 años (proporción de población que ha iniciado vida sexual antes de la edad x, para la población de edad x, x+n, donde n es un número positivo distinto de cero) en cada encuesta. …”

Objetivo. Estimar el calendario de inicio sexual en México y sus tendencias a partir de encuestas poblacionales. Material y métodos. Se analizaron cinco cohortes de nacimiento con cuatro encuestas nacionales (Encuesta Nacional de Salud 2000, Encuesta Nacional de la Dinámica Demográfica 2009, Encuesta Nacional de Juventud 2010 y Encuesta Nacional de Salud y Nutrición 2012) y se identificaron las proporciones de individuos que iniciaron actividad sexual antes de los 16 y antes de los 20 años. Resultados. Las distintas encuestas son, en general, consistentes, pero difieren entre ellas en algunas cohortes. En las cohortes más jóvenes, se identificó una proporción algo mayor de individuos que iniciaron antes de los 20 años; no se advierten cambios en el inicio sexual antes de los 16 años. Conclusiones. La falta de grandes cambios en la edad de inicio de vida sexual con tendencia al adelanto del calendario en México llama a fortalecer la educación sexual integral y la oferta de servicios de salud sexual y reproductiva accesibles a los adolescentes.
