摘要

Purpose: Determining predictors of sexual transitions is essential for developing health interventions. Methods: Adolescents (13-16 years) completed baseline and 6-month surveys assessing psychosocial factors and sexual behavior. Results and Conclusions: Lower self-esteem for boys and higher lifetime alcohol use for girls predicted transitions to more intimate sex. These differential profiles may warrant tailored health initiatives.
