To determine whether sexual-risk and STI-testing behaviors differ by college student status.
Sexually experienced 17- to 25-year-olds from a 2013 nationally representative panel survey that evaluated the "Get Yourself Tested" campaign. Non-students (n = 628), 2-yr (n = 319), and 4-yr college students (n = 587) were surveyed.
Bivariate analyses and multiple logistic regression were used.
Students were less likely than non-students to have had an early sexual debut and to have not used condoms in their most recent relationship. 4-yr students were less likely than non-students to have had multiple sexual partners. 2-yr students were less likely than non-students to have not used contraception in their most recent relationship.
2-yr and 4-yr college students were less likely than non-students to engage in sexual-risk behaviors. Given potentially greater risk for STI acquisition among non-students, identification and implementation of strategies to increase sexual health education and services among this population is needed.
确定大学生群体的性行为风险和性传播感染检测行为是否存在差异。
来自 2013 年全国代表性小组调查的 17 至 25 岁有过性经验的人群,该调查评估了“让你自己接受检测”活动。非在校学生(n=628)、2 年制(n=319)和 4 年制大学生(n=587)参与了调查。
使用双变量分析和多因素逻辑回归进行分析。
与非在校学生相比,学生更不可能有过早的性行为开始和最近一次性行为中不使用安全套。与非在校学生相比,4 年制学生更不可能有多个性伴侣。与非在校学生相比,2 年制学生更不可能在最近一次性行为中没有使用避孕措施。
与非在校学生相比,2 年制和 4 年制大学生更不可能有性行为风险。鉴于非在校学生获得性传播感染的风险可能更高,需要识别和实施策略,以增加该人群的性健康教育和服务。
