Sexual behaviour and risk assessment in different age cohorts in the general population of Sweden (1989—2007)

Abstract

Sexual risk behaviour increased significantly for 16-24 year olds, and particularly young women, during the study period. To reduce the risk of uncontrollable spread of sexually transmitted infections in this age group, it is imperative that condom use in risky sexual contact is encouraged.

Predictors of Contraceptive Methods Among Adolescents and Young Women Residing in Spain

“…We also observed this association when the number of sexual partners was greater than two (AOR = 3.11; 95% CI, 1.72-5.60). This finding contrasts with the results of Herlitz et al [23], who revealed that the odds ratio for more than two partners without using a condom increased significantly in recent years among Swedish women aged 16-24 years.…”

Factores de riesgo relacionados con la salud sexual en los jóvenes europeos

“…Tras la lectura de los resúmenes seleccionados, se excluyeron 223 artículos más por no cumplir alguno de los criterios de inclusión. La muestra final de los estudios publicados en revistas contuvo 21 artículos sobre 17 estudios diferentes [6][7][8][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] .…”

Early onset of sexual intercourse is an indicator for hazardous lifestyle and problematic life situation

“…Sexual intercourse at 14 years or younger was 23% among girls and 20% among boys, which were higher proportions than the results from a previous survey in early 1990, which revealed that 16% among girls (9) and 16.7% among boys (8) had had vaginal intercourse at the age of 14 or younger. Sexual behaviour among teenagers has changed, particularly in teen girls, towards a more risky pattern, regarding unprotected sex and increased number of sexual partners (2, 8, 9, 20). From this perspective, a decrease in age of first sexual intercourse is possible.…”
