Some studies on Indonesian teenager behavior indicated that part of them involved in pre-marital sexual intercourse. This behavior created some risks of infection diseases, such as clamydia, sexual transmitted diseases including HIV /AIDS, and unwanted pregnancy. Especially, unwanted pregnancy imposed some other problems including unsafe abortion, higher rates of delivery morbidity and mortality, premature natal and lower weight of newborn. There were multi-factors causes of sexual problems among teenagers. Family environment, structure and function of family, was considered as one of the factors causing sexual behavior problems among teenagers. This research was aimed to find out the relationship between structure and function of family with teenager premarital sexual behavior. This was an observational research with cross sectional design.
