Washington, August 12: A new research has claimed that adolescents having half-siblings with a different father are likelier to use drugs and have sex by the time the reach the age 15.
Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth, Karen Benjamin Guzzo, an assistant professor of sociology at Bowling Green State University, and Cassandra Dorius, an assistant professor of human development and family studies at Iowa State University examined a phenomenon known as 'multi-partnered fertility' or Mpf. This happens when parents who are not romantically involved with each other form new relationships and have another child with a new partner.
Guzzo said that it's not new behaviour, but it's happening more often as more.
