This research examined how parents - adolescent communication about initiating sex and condoms influenced the relationship between peer norms and behaviour. African american and hispanic adolescents reported on parent adolescent discussions about initiativing sex and condons, perceived peer norms about sex and condom use, and their own behaviour. Communication about sex and perceived peer norms about sex were each related to sexual behaviour and communication about condoms and peer norms about condoms were related to condom use behaviour. For both sex and condom use, the peer norm - behaviour relationship was moderated by parental communication : peer norms were more strongly related to behaviour among adolescents who had not discussed sex or condoms with a parent. Communication was also related to teens naming a parent as their best source of information about sex. Results suggest that a lack of communication may cause adolescents to turn to peers and that peers may then influence their behaviour.
