This paper examines condom use in penile-vaginal sexual intercourse among adults in Canada. Data and method The Sex in Canada survey is a national survey of Canadian adults, ages 18+ (N = 2,303). The online survey used quota-based population sample matching of 2016 census targets for gender, age, region, language, visible minority status, and education level. We report general patterns of self-reported condom use, as well as results from zero-inflated negative binomial regression models on the relationship between condom use and social location, relationship status, and sexual health. Results Condom use varies by gender, age, education, visible minority status, and relationship status. Use of condoms is related to the perception of risk of being diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection in the next six months and to the experience of receiving lessons in condom use. No significant associations were found between condom use and region, rural/ urban residence, income, or religion. Among men, but not women, condom use is associated with language preference, past diagnosis with a sexually transmitted infection, and self-reported sexual health. Conclusion Canadian adults report using a condom in approximately 30% of their sexual encounters involving penile-vaginal sex. Condom use is highest among young adults. Single people use condoms more often than people with marital or common-law partners. Condom use is higher among those with higher levels of education, among people belonging to visible minorities relative to white people, and for men relative to women. People who think they are
Increasing pressure and activism for social equality and justice is challenging the primacy of heteronormativity. Masculinities signified by stereotypically feminine traits and men who embody them are argued to be accruing power. Considering these developments, this study investigates the extent to which male athletes support inclusive perceptions and expressions of masculinity and the concordance between beliefs and behaviors. Results from correspondence analysis of survey data indicate masculinity is conflicted amongst the 456 athletes in the sample, signified by a disparity between beliefs and behaviors. Using these findings, I argue that although progressive social developments are gaining traction, there is still much support for orthodox masculinity in sport.
INTRODUC TI ONGovernments in the Global North are performing a balancing act-responding to international pressure to resettle refugees while maintaining public support amid rising anti-refugee sentiments (Fratzke et al., 2019;Hansen & Randeria, 2016). One of the most contentious and persistently politicized issues is the provision of social assistance (SA) to refugees who have not attained economic independence after their initial period of financial support ends. Critics argue generous SA can discourage refugees' timely economic independence through employment
