TY - JOUR TI - Sexual health knowledge of adolescents from different neighborhoods DO - https://doi.org/doi:10.7282/T39885N8 PY - 2013 AB - The present study used data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) to estimate the associations of gender to neighborhood sexual health knowledge of 2,808 adolescents. Using multiple regression analyses, we controlled for characteristics such as race, family income, parental education, and neighborhood poverty. We found these factors had modest negative effects on sexual health knowledge. The interaction of gender and average neighborhood sexual health knowledge score showed that girls had higher levels of sexual health knowledge than boys and that their sexual knowledge scores were more affected by neighborhood averages.
