“…This showed that our schooling systems provide little or no sexuality education for young people or perhaps the information provided is not adequate. The revelation of this study regarding source of information to adolescents on sexuality education is in tandem with the communiqués at the International Conference on Population and Development [18], that supports should be given by parents to promote integrated sexuality education and services to young people. From the fore -going the (ICPD) communiqués is in line with the findings of this study that very few of the information were gotten from parents and this equally in accordance with a recent Nigerian"s survey that showed that the parents that ought to be the primary educator/communicator to their children on specific sexuality values had played the least role in this regard [19].The result of this study showed that parents should try as much as possible to compliments sex education programmes in school and not to be bias on sensitive sexuality matters.…”

“…El comportamiento de los compañeros, pares o amigos, puede tener un efecto fuerte en la decisión de un adolescente en torno al inicio de la AS, donde la presión social puede tener un impacto más activo. La presión ejercida por compañeros (del mismo sexo o del sexo opuesto) puede resultar en un riesgo elevado de aparición de la AS temprana (39). No obstante, el apoyo mutuo para no tener sexo, es un factor protector para el inicio temprano de la AS (40).…”

RESUMENObjetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de actividad sexual (AS) y factores asociados del debut sexual en adolescentes escolarizados de una ciudad colombiana. Métodos: Estudio observacional, de corte transversal, con 947 estudiantes de 14 a 19 años. Las asociaciones se determinaron mediante Odds Ratio con 95% de intervalo de confianza. Para el análisis multivariado se empleó regresión logística. Resultados: La prevalencia de AS fue 52,8%. La mediana de edad de inicio fue 15 años (RI: 14-16). Las variables asociadas al inicio temprano de la AS para el nivel individual fueron: sexo masculino, aprobación y actitudes permisivas hacia el sexo del adolescente, consumo de licor, tabaco y drogas. Para el nivel familiar fueron: madre no da educación sexual al hijo, hermano/a que en la adolescencia hayan sido padre/madre, aprobación y actitudes permisivas de los padres hacia el sexo en la adolescencia. Para el nivel socio-cultural fueron: como factores de riesgo el pertenecer a los estratos socioeconómicos 1 y 2, aprobación y actitudes permisivas de los pares o grupo de amigos del adolescente a la AS en la adolescencia, y como factor protector el haber recibido educación en anticoncepción por personas diferentes a los padres, como equipos de educación en colegios o personal de salud. Conclusión: Factores individuales como sexo masculino, propia toma de decisiones, papel que desempeña la madre en la educación sexual de sus hijos y la influencia de pares o amigos en la toma de decisiones, se asociaron con el inicio temprano de la AS entre adolescentes. PALABRAS CLAVE: Adolescencia, actividad sexual, alcohol, drogas psicoactivas, anticoncepción SUMMARYObjective: To determine the prevalence of sexual activity (SA), age of onset and factors associated with the onset of the SA in adolescent students of a Colombian city. Methods: An observational, cross-sectional, with 947 students from 14 to 19 years old. Associations were determined using Odds Ratio with confidence interval of 95%. For multivariate analysis logistic regression was used. Results: The prevalence of SA was 52.8%. The median age of onset of SA was 15 years (RI: 14-16). The variables associated with early onset of SA for the individual were male approval and permissive attitudes toward sex by adolescent alcohol consumption, snuff and illicit drugs. For the family level, were the mother gives sex education to his children, a brother/daughter that in adolescence has been a parent and approval and permissive attitudes toward sex parents in adolescence. For the socio-cultural, socio-economic strata belong to 1 and 2, approval and permissive attitudes couple or group of friends to the AS teenager in adolescence, as risk factors and received education in contraception for persons other than parents and education teams in schools or health care as a protective factor, were associated with the onset of SA in adolescence.

“…Schools with lower academic performance and lower staff-pupil ratios have higher pupil crime rates (Limbos & Casteel, 2008). Better education and academic achievement also appear to be protective factors against early sexual activity (Hallett et al, 2007;Laflin, Wang & Barry, 2008;Quinlivan, Tan, Steele & Black, 2004).…”

AbstractGuided by principles of life history strategy development, this study tested the hypothesis that sexual precocity and violence are caused by sensitivities to local environmental conditions. Two models of strategy development were compared: The first is based on indirect perception of ecological cues through family disruption and the second is based on both direct and indirect perception of ecological stressors. Results showed a moderate correlation between rates of violence and sexual precocity, r = .59. Whilst a model incorporating direct and indirect effects provided a better fit than one based on family mediation alone, significant improvements were made by linking some ecological factors directly to behaviour independently of strategy development. The models support the contention that violence and teenage pregnancy are part of an ecologically determined pattern of strategy development and suggest that, whilst the family unit is critical in affecting behaviour, individuals' direct experiences of the environment are also important.3
