Model estimates (standardized) relationship of second-order sexual health variable with sexual behaviors among adolescent women (Objective 3). ***p < .001.
Note: Ovals represent latent variables [double line: second order; solid line: outcomes]; solid arrows represent the empirical relationship between sexual health and behaviors.
