The gender-specific associations between perceived parenting and sexual-related behaviors among secondary vocational school students in China: a cross-sectional study
Parental-child connectedness, behavioral monitoring and authoritative parenting style are negatively associated with sexual-related behaviors among secondary vocational school students with some gender differences. It is necessary to develop school-based interventions to encourage authoritative parenting styles and improve gender-specific parenting of secondary vocational school students with emphasis on behavioral monitoring for boys and parent-child connectedness for girl, and calls for advocacy of paternal engagement in parenting, especially for girls.
