Abstract

We examined associations between early dating behaviors at 5th grade and sex initiation by 10th grade across (N = 3,264) Black, Latino, and White adolescents. Early dating predicted a greater likelihood of sex initiation among Black (OR = 1.50), Latino (OR = 1.42), and White (OR = 1.41) adolescents.
