Description

Despite years of interest in parental and peer influences on adolescent sexual behavior (Billy & Udry, 1985; Newcomer & Udry, 1984), there has been surprisingly little research on the influence of siblings on adolescent sexual outcomes. Most research in the area has addressed older sibling influences on adolescents' age of first intercourse (Watts & Nagy, 2000; Widmer, 1997), consistency in contraceptive use (D'Amico & Fromme, 1997), and pregnancy and childbearing rates (East & Jacobson, 2000). This literature has established that younger siblings tend to report an earlier onset of sexual intercourse compared with their older siblings (Moore & Chase-Lansdale, 2001; Rodgers, Rowe, & Harris, 1992). Further, younger siblings with pregnant or parenting older sisters in the home tend to report higher levels of sexual experience and more frequent intercourse compared with those without pregnant or parenting sisters in the home (East, Felice, & Morgan, 1993); they are also more likely to parent a child during adolescence themselves (East, 1996a, 1996b; East & Shi, 1997; Hogan & Kitagawa, 1985; Pick & Palos, 1995).
