Urban minority girls are at considerable risk for the negative health consequences of early sexual activity. Yet few researchers have explored the sources of information about sexual issues for these adolescents, particularly parent - child communication. As part of a larger qualitative study examining social cofnitions about sexuality among urban girls, 72 africana merican and latina mothers and 72 daughters representing two age groups (6 - 9 and 10 - 13) participated in focus group sessions. Both mothers and daughters addressed the cues associated with the timing of these conversations in the course of the daughter's development, the content of their conversations, including the messages mothers used to influence girls' decision making and the approaches or strategies both employed. The authors' analyses indicate that beneficial communication may be preempted by the antagonistic positions adopted by daughters and mothers as daughters advance sexually. Daughters may in fact benefit more from receiving sex education from other close sources.
