Abstract

We examined associations between meeting partners online and sexual health risks at two time points, using empirical data from a sample of girls with and without childhood ADHD followed prospectively into adulthood. Findings reveal that meeting partners online is more strongly related to sexual health in adolescence compared to adulthood.
