Abstract：
System-involved youth are a vulnerable population at high-risk of experiencing numerous sexual reproductive health (SRH) outcomes. They are likely to have several risk factors for teen pregnancy and parenting including abuse and neglect histories, lack of a supportive consistent adult in their lives, and limited opportunities to experience normal romantic relationships. Issues of pubertal development are rarely addressed in this population. Data is from system-involved adolescents (n = 301) enrolled in a SRH intervention. The final analysis is restricted to those who were sexually active at baseline (n = 229). Most participants were African Americans between 13-21 years of age. More than 70% reported an early mean age of first sex. Approximately a quarter self-reported early pubertal development. Logistic regression was utilized to examine the odds of pregnancy in relation to self-reported pubertal timing. The findings support the need to develop programming for system-involved youth which address their unique needs.
摘要：
涉及系统的青年是弱势群体，面临许多性生殖健康（SRH）结果的高风险。他们可能有几个青少年怀孕和育儿的风险因素，包括虐待和忽视史，在他们的生活中缺乏一个支持一致的成年人，和有限的机会来体验正常的浪漫关系。在这个人群中，青春期发育的问题很少得到解决。数据来自参与SRH干预的系统青少年(n=301)。最终分析仅限于那些在基线时性活跃的人(n=229)。大多数参与者是13-21岁的非洲裔美国人。超过70％的人报告了初次性行为的平均年龄。大约四分之一的人自我报告了青春期早期发育。使用Logistic回归检查与自我报告的青春期时间相关的怀孕几率。调查结果支持需要为涉及系统的青年制定方案，以满足他们的独特需求。
