Relationships between ASI and RASB outcomes at an individual level, gender effects, and gender X ASI interactions

Outcome Variable Past year number of regular partners Past year number of casual partners Past year sex behavior under influence of drugs/alcohol Lifetime number of casual partners Lifetime number of regular partners Early pregnancy
ASIIND .12 (.05)** .24 (.05)*** .25 (.05)*** .02 (.07) .03 (.06) 1.18 (.15)***
Gender −.11 (.06)* .45 (.06)*** .30 (.07)*** .25 (.07)*** .02 (.05) −.73 (.15)***
ASIIND X Gender −.15 (.10) .58 (.11)*** .30 (.11)** .54 (.10)*** .18 (.09) .37 (.31)
Sexual opportunity N/A N/A N/A .32 (.04)*** .45 (.04)*** N/A

Note: ASI, adolescent sexual initiation; early pregnancy: ASIIND refers to the fact that this is an individual-level regression (using all participants); early pregnancy, having been pregnant or having made someone pregnant before age 20; sexual opportunity: current age - time at initial sexual experience. All variables but early pregnancy (which was categorical) were z-scored. Unstandardized regression weights [B(SEs)] are presented. The gender effect in early pregnancy is in the same direction as all other gender effects (higher RASB in men), despite the opposite sign.
