Young holidaymakers report increased sexual risk-taking abroad, yet little is currently known about the sexual behaviour of those who extend time abroad through casual work.
Information on sexual behaviour was collected via an anonymous questionnaire administered to British bar and nightclub workers in Ibiza (cases, n = 92) and British people visiting Ibiza for holiday purposes only (controls, n = 868).
Four in five (80.5%) cases who arrived in Ibiza without a partner had sex during their stay and of these two thirds (65.5%) had unprotected sex. Cases were more likely to report sexual risk-taking in Ibiza than controls and reported greater numbers of sexual partners prior to their visit. However, they had fewer sexual partners per week of stay.
Casual workers in bars and nightclubs abroad are a key risk group for sexual health and a potential conduit for the international spread of sexually transmitted infections. While they are an important target group for sexual health promotion, appropriately trained they are also ideally placed to deliver sexual health interventions to other young travellers.
年轻度假者报告称在国外性行为冒险行为增加，但目前对于那些通过临时工作在国外延长停留时间的人的性行为知之甚少。
通过对伊维萨岛的英国酒吧和夜店工作人员（病例组，n = 92）以及仅以度假目的前往伊维萨岛的英国人（对照组，n = 868）进行匿名问卷调查来收集性行为信息。
五分之四（80.5%）抵达伊维萨岛时没有伴侣的病例在停留期间发生了性行为，其中三分之二（65.5%）进行了无保护性行为。病例组比对照组更有可能报告在伊维萨岛的性行为冒险行为，并且在访问之前报告的性伴侣数量更多。然而，他们每周停留期间的性伴侣较少。
国外酒吧和夜店的临时工是性健康的关键风险群体，也是性传播感染国际传播的潜在渠道。虽然他们是性健康促进的重要目标群体，但经过适当培训后，他们也非常适合为其他年轻旅行者提供性健康干预措施。
