This study examined the relationship between online relationship initiation and sexual risk behaviors among adolescents of different sexual orientations. The main findings were:
1) Bisexual and gay/queer youth were more likely to initiate romantic relationships online compared to heterosexual youth. This suggests the internet may provide greater benefits to LGBTQ+ youth.
2) Initiating relationships online was not associated with increased sexual risk taking for heterosexual, bisexual, or gay/queer youth. This indicates that how a relationship starts (online vs offline) does not inherently impact sexual risk behaviors.
3) The internet may be a safe way for youth to explore relationships without necessarily leading to riskier sexual behaviors just because the relationship

Sexual Health is Just Health: Findings from a CDC National STD Prevention Tra...YTH
Think about the last time you thought you had an STD. How did you feel? Who did you tell? What did you do? Awkward, right? Maybe this hasn't happened to you personally, but each year over 20 million Americans contract a Sexually Transmitted Disease. Over 50% are youth and most go undetected and untreated. Just Health is a risk screen app being used in over 100 School-Based Health Centers and is the flagship tool of a National CDC Center for Technology Innovation that is focused on adolescent sexual health. Just Health works to improve patient-provider communication and reduce stigma around a range of topics from safety, substance use, mental health, and sexual health including the intersectionality of needs and gender identity and sexual orientation. Just Health is an example of ongoing evaluation in real-word conditions. Population-level data are improving understanding of these needs and risks from a system perspective.

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.

2. Initiating Romantic
Relationships Online
• Having intimate relationships is a normative, age-typical task
for adolescents (Bouchey & Furman, 2003)
• Internet use is almost ubiquitous among youth (Lenhart et al., 2011)
• Adolescents may use the Internet to initiate romantic
relationships
• They might find partners online just because they are interacting
with others online
• The Internet might provide protection against social scrutiny
(avoid disclosure of sexual orientation to family and offline
friends) (e.g., Lever, Grov, Royce, Gillespe, 2008)
• The Internet might increase their pool of potential intimate
partners (e.g., Lever, Grov, Royce, Gillespe, 2008)
3. Possible Association Between
Online Initiation and Sexual Risk
• Adolescence is a period of exploration in sexual and romantic
relationships (Furman & Shaffer, 2003)
• The online environment encourages self-disclosure
(e.g., Joinson, 2001), which may lead to greater liking and intimacy
(e.g., Henderson & Gilding, 2004). Thus, adolescents who initiate intimate
relationships online might move more quickly to engaging in sexual
behaviors and, consequently, have relatively little time to negotiate
safer sex.
• If adolescents are using the Internet to initiate relationships because
they lack offline social networks, they might also lack the
information and skills needed to engage in safer sex behavior that
can be provided by offline social networks.
• If adolescents are initiating intimate relationships online in order to
keep their actions hidden from their parents, they are likely to lack
the parental supervision of the relationship that they would have
otherwise and that might prevent them from engaging in risky
sexual behavior.
4. Possible Association Between
Online Initiation and Sexual Risk
• Conversely, the mode used to initiate the romantic
relationship might not in and of itself be associated with
sexual risk (Bolding, Davis, Hart, Sherr, & Elford, 2006)
• Relationships initiated online might not differ from those initiated
offline in terms of progression of intimacy, negotiation of safer
sex, and ability and willingness to engage in safer sex simply
because they are initiated through different communication
modes .
5. Research Questions
1. Do online relationship initiation activities vary
by sexual orientation?
2. A. Is online relationship initiation associated
with sexual risk?
B. If so, does the association vary by sexual
orientation?
6. Measures: Respondent
Characteristics
• Age, ethnicity, race, gender, biological sex, born again or
Evangelical Christian, age of first vaginal or anal sex
• Respondents reported their sexuality or sexual orientation by
selecting all of the listed terms that apply to them and/or by
typing in a unique term.
• Low household income: those who reported an income lower
than the average family (1) versus those who reported an
income similar to or higher than the average family (0)
• Past year substance use was measured using a modified
version of the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS; Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, 2006)
• Common drugs: alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana
• Uncommon drugs: inhalants, prescription drugs, hormones, other
drugs
• Factor scores.
7. Measures: Respondent
Characteristics
• Self esteem measured with 10-item Rosenberg scale (Rosenberg, 1965)
• Sum scores dichotomized to reflect scores one standard deviation
above the mean and higher versus all other scores.
• Major depression: cutoff of sum score on revised version of the
CESD-R (Eaton, Muntaner, Smith, Tien, & Ybarra, 2004) of 11+
• Social support was measured as a summation of four items from the
Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (Zimet, Dahlem, Zimet
& Farley, 1988) with a higher score reflecting more social support
• Parent-child relationship characteristics (Youth Internet Safety
Survey; Finkelhor et al., 2000; Wolak, Mitchell, Finkelhor, 2006):
• Lack of emotional bond (e.g., how well do you get along?)
• Coercive discipline (e.g., how often does your caregiver spank or slap
you)
• Lack of in-person parental monitoring (e.g., how often does this
person know who you’re with when you’re not at home)
8. Measures: Respondent
Characteristics
• Parent-child relationship characteristics (continued):
• Lack of technology-based parental monitoring (e.g., how often does
this person know who you talk to online).
• Sum score for each with a higher score reflecting a worse relationship
characteristic.
• Respondents were asked how much time they go online on a typical
day using a computer at home, cell phone, video game console, and
portable gaming device.
• Responses aggregated across items
• Coded to reflect 0 minutes-1 hour (0), more than 1 hour (1) of
personal time spent online on a typical day.
• Survey process measures. At the end of the survey, adolescents
reported whether they were alone when they completed the survey
(not alone = 1; alone = 0) and whether they responded honestly
(dishonest = 1; honest = 0).
9. Measures: Online Relationship
Initiation Activities
• Respondents who reported having had a boy/girlfriend within the
past 12 months were asked a series of questions about their most
recent boy/girlfriend(s)
• Based upon responses to these questions, participants were coded
for whether or not they:
• Within the past 12 months, met a boy/girlfriend online
• Within the past 12 months, met a boy/girlfriend online and then met
them face-to-face
• Respondents who reported willingly having had any type of sex
(oral, vaginal, anal sex or penetrative sex with a finger or a sex toy)
within the past 12 months were asked a series of questions about
their most recent sex partners
• Based upon responses to these questions, participants were coded
for whether or not they:
• Within the past 12 months, met their most recent sex partner online
10. Measures: Safer Sex Behavior
• Respondents who reported willingly having had any type of
sex (oral, vaginal, anal sex or penetrative sex with a finger or a
sex toy) within the past 12 months were asked:
• what type of sex (e.g., oral) they engaged in with their most
recent sex partner
• how many times they had vaginal or anal sex in the past 90 days
• how many times they used a condom in the past 90 days when
they had vaginal or anal sex
• Based upon responses to these questions, percent of vaginal and
anal sex in past 90 days that was protected was computed for
those that had vaginal or anal sex with their most recent partner
within the past 12 months

18. Summary & Implications
• Online relationship initiation activities vary by sexual
orientation
• Fewer heterosexual-identified youth initiated romantic
relationships online than bisexual-identified youth.
• Gay/queer-identified youth had the largest percentage who
initiated romantic relationships online
• Suggests that the Internet might have greater potential to
positively impact GBQ youth’s health, adjustment, and
psychosocial functioning as compared to heterosexual youth
• Online relationship initiation was not associated with sexual
risk for any of the subgroups
• Suggests that youth who are more likely to initiate romantic
relationships online are not at greater sexual risk just because the
relationship started online
• Suggests that, for youth, the Internet might be a viable and “safe”
way to supplement one’s pool of potential relationship partners
