To study the knowledge and experience of sexuality, contraception and sexually transmitted diseases among sexually active adolescents in Sweden.
Youth clinic visitors.
Seventy-four youth clinics from all over the country of Sweden.
A questionnaire with 17 multiple choice and nine open questions was distributed to all visitors at participating youth clinics during a 2-month period.
A total of 9277 young persons answered the questionnaire. Their mean age was 17.5 years. Ninety-three percent were females. Knowledge on STD and STD protection was wide-spread and good. Chlamydia and HIV was recognised as STDs by 90% and 87% respectively. More than 99% knew of the condom method as a means for STD protection. Knowledge on contraceptive methods for pregnancy protection was also good. Ninety-three percent of the investigated adolescents had had coitus. Nine percent had experienced pregnancies and 17% STDs. The mean number of life-time sexual partners was 3.2.
In spite of good knowledge on preventive measures among Swedish youth clinic visitors their sexual behaviour carriers risks for future health. Further interventions are needed to minimise these risks.
研究瑞典性活跃青少年在性、避孕及性传播疾病方面的知识和经验。
青少年诊所就诊者。
瑞典全国74家青少年诊所。
在2个月的时间里,向参与研究的青少年诊所的所有就诊者发放一份包含17道选择题和9道开放式问题的问卷。
共有9277名年轻人回答了问卷。他们的平均年龄为17.5岁。93%为女性。关于性传播疾病及其防护的知识较为普及且掌握情况良好。分别有90%和87%的人认识到衣原体和艾滋病毒属于性传播疾病。超过99%的人知道使用避孕套是预防性传播疾病的一种方法。关于避孕方法以防止怀孕的知识也掌握得较好。93%的被调查青少年有过性行为。9%的人经历过怀孕,17%的人感染过性传播疾病。性伴侣的终生平均数量为3.2个。
尽管瑞典青少年诊所就诊者对预防措施有较好的了解,但他们的性行为仍对未来健康构成风险。需要进一步采取干预措施以将这些风险降至最低。
