Notes: Early sexual onset defined as having first intercourse before age 15. Coefficients for paternal incarceration presented. All models adjust for all variables in Model 2 of Table 2. Sample includes 932 boys with residential parents, 724 boys with non-residential parents, 985 girls with residential parents, and 764 girls with non-residential parents. Coefficients for boys with residential parents and boys with non-residential parents are marginally statistically different from one another (p < .10).
