As the nation progresses into the 21st century, many problems face the teenagers of this country. One of the most serious is premature sexual intercourse and the consequences associated with early sexual activity. A national objective for the year 2010 is to increase to 95% the proportion of adolescents who abstain from sexual intercourse or use condoms if currently active. Adolescents face many challenges and decisions related to sexual behaviors, but when teenagers are prematurely involved in sexual relationships, there are many dangers and unfortunate outcomes such as pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases and HIV.

520 $a As the nation progresses into the 21st century, many problems face the teenagers of this country. One of the most serious is premature sexual intercourse and the consequences associated with early sexual activity. A national objective for the year 2010 is to increase to 95% the proportion of adolescents who abstain from sexual intercourse or use condoms if currently active. Adolescents face many challenges and decisions related to sexual behaviors, but when teenagers are prematurely involved in sexual relationships, there are many dangers and unfortunate outcomes such as pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases and HIV.
520 $a The purpose of this study is to test an instrument created by Kirschenbaum (1998) entitled "Are You Ready for Sex? A Personal Inventory ", for content and construct validity. This inventory includes five major categories and several questions related to each category regarding sexual readiness. The readiness categories are: psychological; relationship; choice of a partner; knowledge about sex, risks and protection; and the ability to handle consequences. A personal questionnaire was also administered that included demographic data and outcome measures of health and relationship outcomes and health risk behaviors. The hypothesis of this study is that higher levels of sexual readiness at the onset of sex will lead to more positive health outcomes.
520 $a To validate the content of this inventory, content experts in the sexuality field, researchers, educators, physicians and nurses who work with and teach adolescents were asked to review this inventory for use as a research instrument. These data were collected and analyzed and this instrument was changed to reflect this input.
520 $a In order to validate the inventory, a total of 268 students from two local colleges were asked to complete this questionnaire. These students were asked to think back to the first time that they had sexual intercourse and answer the questions based on that time in their lives.
520 $a These data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, internal consistency estimates, factor analysis and hypothesis testing.
520 $a This instrument begins to provide insight into outcomes related to sexual readiness and health and risk behaviors. This study may also have implications for future education.
