To analyze the association between condom use and migration to the United States (US) in two Mexican municipalities.
A cross-sectional, non-probabilistic study of egocentric social networks was conducted in Cuauhtémoc, Colima and Tonalá, Jalisco during the months of December 2003 and January 2004, in 354 migrant subjects. Migration, sexual network, history and risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) characteristics were surveyed. Statistical analyses was conducted using logistic regression.
Increased migration travel to the US was significantly associated with consistent condom use for Cuauhtémoc (OR: 3.87; p< 0.05) and Tonalá (OR: 4.12; p< 0.05) municipalities. Other significant predictors included: age, type of sex partner, and perceived monogamy.
Our data support the hypothesis that migration to the US is associated with condom use.
分析墨西哥两个城市中使用避孕套与移民到美国之间的关联。
2003年12月至2004年1月期间,在科利马州的库奥特莫克市和哈利斯科州的托纳拉市,对354名移民对象进行了一项以自我为中心的社会网络横断面非概率研究。调查了移民情况、性网络、病史以及性传播感染(STIs)风险特征。采用逻辑回归进行统计分析。
对于库奥特莫克市(比值比:3.87;p<0.05)和托纳拉市(比值比:4.12;p<0.05),前往美国的移民行程增加与持续使用避孕套显著相关。其他显著预测因素包括:年龄、性伴侣类型和感知到的一夫一妻制。
我们的数据支持移民到美国与使用避孕套有关这一假设。
