- •
This study demonstrates the feasibility of modeling latent trait testosterone (LTT).
- •
This study explores links between LTT and sexual and substance use behaviors.
- •
This study utilizes the Balloon Analog Risk Task (BART), salivary, urine, and survey data.
- •
LTT model invariance was found for females and males.
- •
LTT accounted for 18–89% (home samples) and 61–95% (lab samples) of the variance in testosterone levels.
- •
LTT was associated with risk-seeking behaviors and the strength of this association was similar across males and females.
