The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between religiosity and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) knowledge and awareness of campus SRH services among college students on a racially and ethnically diverse college campus. The sample included 996 undergraduate students at a large public university in California. For women, there was a consistent pattern across religious affiliations of more frequent attenders reporting lower SRH knowledge than less frequent attenders. These findings suggest that higher rates of religious attendance among Catholic, Protestant, and Evangelical women pose a risk for lower SRH knowledge. The results suggest the need for SRH outreach and educational materials targeting men in general, who had lower levels of SRH knowledge and awareness of SRH services overall, and taking religiosity into account, particularly with regard to women.
本研究的目的是在一个种族和民族多样化的大学校园中，考察大学生的宗教信仰与性健康和生殖健康（SRH）知识以及对校园SRH服务的认知之间的关系。样本包括加利福尼亚一所大型公立大学的996名本科生。对于女性而言，在不同宗教信仰中存在一种一致的模式，即参加宗教活动更频繁的女性报告的SRH知识比参加宗教活动不那么频繁的女性更少。这些发现表明，天主教、新教和福音派女性中较高的宗教活动参与率会带来SRH知识较低的风险。结果表明，需要针对男性开展SRH宣传和教育材料，总体而言，男性的SRH知识水平和对SRH服务的认知较低，并且要考虑到宗教信仰，尤其是针对女性。
