To examine effectiveness of abstinence-until-marriage curriculum on knowledge, beliefs, efficacy, intentions, and behavior.
Nonrandomized control trial involving 2069 middle school students with a 5-month follow-up.
Intervention students reported increases in knowledge and abstinence beliefs, but decreases in intentions to have sex and to use condoms. Intervention did not influence sexual initiation or condom use; however, intervention students who had sex during the evaluation period reported fewer sexual episodes and fewer partners than did controls.
Abstinence-until-marriage interventions can influence knowledge, beliefs, and intentions, and among sexually experienced students, may reduce the prevalence of casual sex. Reduction in condom use intentions merits further study to determine long-term implications.
研究婚前禁欲课程在知识、信念、效能、意图和行为方面的效果。
对2069名中学生进行非随机对照试验，并进行为期5个月的随访。
接受干预的学生报告称知识和禁欲信念有所增加，但发生性行为和使用避孕套的意图有所下降。干预并未影响首次性行为或避孕套的使用；然而，在评估期间发生性行为的干预组学生报告的性接触次数和性伴侣数量均少于对照组。
婚前禁欲干预可影响知识、信念和意图，对于有性经验的学生，可能会降低随意性行为的发生率。使用避孕套意图的下降值得进一步研究以确定其长期影响。
