Bivariate ordinal regression analyses showed that African American race (Wald=9.11, p<.01), living in household poverty (Wald=8.87, p<.01) and higher levels of impulsivity symptoms (Wald=5.69, p<.05) at age 11 predicted sexual risk-taking 5 years later. Severity of conduct problems at age 11 and reaching menarche by age 11 did not show direct effects on risky sex in mid-adolescence.
