Young people worldwide are now at increased risk of unsafe sexual behavior; it is thus imperative to understand the determinants of such practices among them.
To assess factors associated with Risky Sexual Behavior (RSB) among secondary school students in Nigeria.
This cross-sectional study was conducted using multistage sampling technique among 375 secondary school students in Ogbomoso, Nigeria. A pretested questionnaire was used for data collection; chi-square test and binary logistic regression analysis were done.
Overall, 23.0% of the respondents had at least one RSB; students not in steady relationships were 5 times more likely to have RSB ( OR = 4.50, 95% CI [2.66, 7.71]). Also, respondents who had positive attitude toward RSB had 24% increased odds of RSB practice compared with those with negative attitude ( OR = 23.75, 95%CI [2.48, 22.78]).
The burden of RSB is high among secondary school students in South West Nigeria. There is urgent need for reprogramming of sex education for the Nigerian secondary school students.
全球年轻人面临的不安全性行为风险正在增加；因此，了解他们此类行为的决定因素至关重要。
评估尼日利亚中学生中与危险性行为（RSB）相关的因素。
本横断面研究采用多阶段抽样技术，对尼日利亚奥贡莫索的375名中学生进行了调查。使用经过预测试的问卷收集数据；进行了卡方检验和二元逻辑回归分析。
总体而言，23.0%的受访者至少有一项危险性行为；没有稳定恋爱关系的学生发生危险性行为的可能性高出5倍（OR = 4.50，95%CI [2.66, 7.71]）。此外，对危险性行为持积极态度的受访者与持消极态度的受访者相比，发生危险性行为的几率增加了24%（OR = 23.75，95%CI [2.48, 22.78]）。
尼日利亚西南部中学生中危险性行为的负担很高。迫切需要为尼日利亚中学生重新规划性教育。
