Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Compared with other ethnicity minorities, Asian American youth least likely to have ever had sex intercourse and have less sexual partners. In addition to the effects of social economic achievement in the U.S., the Asian family value has been identified as an important role in protecting their teenagers from initiating the early sexual intercourse. However, with the assimilation, the protection of Asian family value may fade gradually. Asian family value per se has different degree expectation of sexuality to boys and girls which may make their assimilation path on sexual behavior differently across gender. In this paper, I carried a set of proportional hazard models to test the effects of acculturation on the time of first sex intercourse of Asian youth and generalize estimating equations (GEE) Poisson model on the number of sexual partners. The analysis shows that the longer time that the youth family is exposed to the U.S. society, the earlier the youth have had their first sex intercourse and the more sexual partners they have. Language spoken at home plays a significant role in protecting adolescent early sexual engagement, but the effects vary by gender with regard to age at first sexual intercourse. Female speaking English at home are the most risky group who experienced their first sexual intercourse early, followed by males speaking English at home, males speaking their mother language at home and female speaking their mother language at home. These results still hold when controlling for family background, parental controls, social controls and neighborhood social economic status.
