Noncoital Sexual Interactions and Problem Behaviour among Young Adolescents: The Norwegian Longitudinal Health Behaviour Study.

Jakobsen, Reidar; Rise, Jostein; Aas, Henrik; Anderssen, Norman

Journal of Adolescence, v20 n1 p71-83 Feb 1997

Focuses on whether early onset of noncoital sexual interactions (EONSI) is best understood in the same paradigm as adolescent problem behavior. A longitudinal study (N=927) revealed that EONSI was related to problem behavior; the higher ordered the noncoital sexual interaction was, the more strongly it correlated with measure of problem behavior.
