“…This implication is affirmed by the study of Boti et al (2019), which stated that students' attitudes and intentions were influenced by comprehensive sexual knowledge. According to the study by McCarthy et al (2024), students' knowledge regarding sexual reproduction plays a significant role in their sexual attitude and exceptionally consistent condom use. However, results indicate that despite university students have a good awareness of contraceptive methods, they cannot comprehend the mechanisms, efficacy, and possible side effects of these methods, according to Oonyu (2020).…”

This study aims to uncover the association between sexual health knowledge and sexual attitude, explore the various factors, and evaluate its significance in today’s generation. There are a total of 328 individuals who participated in this study comprising first year to fourth year level of students from University of Mindanao Digos College. This study is quantitative and employs a descriptive-predictive research design. Using the Shapiro-Wilk test, to test the normality; however, the test did not show if the continuous variables have a normal distribution by assumption. Mean and Standard Deviation were used to test the levels of both variables, results showed that level of sexual health knowledge among participants is moderate and level of sexual attitudes of college students was marked neutral. Where in the results revealed that general sexual attitude has an inversely positive relationship with reproductive health, contraception, condom use, has a positive correlation with HIV/AIDS, but has no relationship with Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD). Moreover, personal sexual attitude has no significant relationship with reproductive health, but has a very weak positive relationship contraception, condom use, has a weak positive relationship with STD and HIV/AIDS.

IntroductionViolence against women is a prevalent, preventable public health crisis. COVID-19 stressors and pandemic countermeasures may have exacerbated violence against women. Cisgender college women are particularly vulnerable to violence. Thus, we examined the prevalence and correlates of verbal/physical violence experienced and perpetrated among cisgender women enrolled at a New York City college over one year during the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsFrom a prospective cohort study, we analyzed data self-reported quarterly (T1, T2, T3, T4) between December 2020 and December 2021. Using generalized estimated equations (GEE) and logistic regression, we identified correlates of experienced and perpetrated violence among respondents who were partnered or cohabitating longitudinally and at each quarter, respectively. Multivariable models included all variables with unadjusted parameters X2p-value ≤0.05.ResultsThe prevalence of experienced violence was 52% (T1: N = 513), 30% (T2: N = 305), 33% (T3: N = 238), and 17% (T4: N = 180); prevalence of perpetrated violence was 38%, 17%, 21%, and 9%. Baseline correlates of experienced violence averaged over time (GEE) included race, living situation, loneliness, and condom use; correlates of perpetrated violence were school year, living situation, and perceived social support. Quarter-specific associations corroborated population averages: living with family members and low social support were associated with experienced violence at all timepoints except T4. Low social support was associated with higher odds of perpetrated violence at T1/T3. Other/Multiracial identity was associated with higher odds of violence experience at T3.ConclusionsLiving situation was associated with experienced and perpetrated violence in all analyses, necessitating further exploration of household conditions, family dynamics, and interpersonal factors. The protective association of social support with experienced and perpetrated violence also warrants investigation into forms of social engagement and cohesion. Racial differences in violence also require examination. Our findings can inform university policy development on violence and future violence research. Within or beyond epidemic conditions, universities should assess and strengthen violence prevention and support systems for young women by developing programming to promote social cohesion.
