To investigate the current sexual behavior and condom use during the first sexual intercourse among adolescents, as well as variations and factors influencing condom use at first sexual intercourse.
The data source for this study was Mexico's National Health Survey 2000. Study subjects were male and female adolescents aged 12 to 19 years (n = 16,258). Statistical analysis consisted of descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression, to assess the association of four types of factors (demographic, socioeconomic, cultural, and cognitive) with condom use during the first sexual intercourse.
Males and residents of urban areas reported greater sexual activity and condom use. Typically, adolescents who used condoms during the first sexual intercourse were male, older, resided in urban areas, non-speakers of an indigenous language, and with higher schooling.
New policies should be framed to prevent sexually transmitted infections to span the gap between knowledge and practice, targeting adolescents starting sexual activity earlier, those who speak an indigenous language, living in rural areas, with less schooling, and females.

调查青少年首次性行为时的当前性行为及避孕套使用情况，以及首次性行为时避孕套使用的差异和影响因素。
本研究的数据来源为2000年墨西哥国家健康调查。研究对象为12至19岁的青少年男性和女性（n = 16258）。统计分析包括描述性统计和多变量逻辑回归，以评估四类因素（人口统计学、社会经济、文化和认知）与首次性行为时避孕套使用之间的关联。
男性和城市居民报告的性活动和避孕套使用情况更多。通常，在首次性行为时使用避孕套的青少年为男性、年龄较大、居住在城市地区、不说土著语言且受教育程度较高。
应制定新政策以预防性传播感染，弥合知识与实践之间的差距，目标针对较早开始性活动的青少年、说土著语言的青少年、居住在农村地区的青少年、受教育程度较低的青少年以及女性。本文的英文版也可在以下网址获取：http://www.insp.mx/salud/index.html 。
