To identify the differences and similarities in sexual and contraceptive knowledge, attitudes, and behavior among Latino male adolescent students living in California and Lima. Self-administered, anonymous surveys were completed by Latino male students aged 12-19 participating in California, and by male adolescent students in four high schools in Lima. Both surveys contained similar questions allowing for comparisons regarding sexual activity and contraceptive behavior. The mean age of male students were 16 and 15 years, respectively. More California males reported having engaged in sexual intercourse (69% vs 43%. The sexual debut was 13 years in both samples. More students in California were aware of their risk of pregnancy at first sexual intercourse than in Lima (82% vs 50%). One-third of the California males reported communicating with their partner about sex and contraception to be "easy" as compared to 53% of males in Lima. More students in California reported knowing a place to obtain contraceptives if they need them (85% vs 63%), having ever gotten someone pregnant (29% vs 7%), and having fathered a child (67% vs 16%).
为了确定居住在加利福尼亚州和利马的拉丁裔男性青少年学生在性与避孕知识、态度及行为方面的异同。由12至19岁参与调查的加利福尼亚州拉丁裔男学生以及利马四所高中的男青少年学生自行完成匿名调查。两份调查问卷包含相似的问题，以便对性活动和避孕行为进行比较。男学生的平均年龄分别为16岁和15岁。更多加利福尼亚州的男性报告称有过性交经历（69%对43%）。两个样本中的首次性行为年龄均为13岁。与利马相比，更多加利福尼亚州的学生在首次性交时意识到自己有怀孕风险（82%对50%）。三分之一的加利福尼亚州男性报告称与伴侣交流性与避孕话题“容易”，而利马这一比例为53%。更多加利福尼亚州的学生报告称知道如果需要可在哪里获取避孕药具（85%对63%），曾使他人怀孕（29%对7%），以及已育有子女（67%对16%）。
