The purpose of this study was to describe trends in vaginal intercourse (VI) and condom use during first VI from 2002 to 2017 among never-married 15- to 24-year-olds in the United States.
Data come from the National Survey of Family Growth. We used logistic regression and Stata's margins package to estimate the percentage reporting VI and condom use at first VI and to conduct statistical comparisons across time.
VI was stable for 20- to 24-year-old men, but their condom use increased after 2002. For 15- to 19-year-old men, VI declined after 2011-2015 but condom use increased (83%). Among women, the overall percentage reporting VI and partner's condom use was stable, despite a significant increase in condom use among 15- to 19-year-olds between 2006-2010 and 2011-2015 (69%-75%).
Condom use at first intercourse increased among young men, but a similar pattern was not observed for young women. Understanding why is crucial to the formulation of strategies to increase condom uptake.
本研究旨在描述美国从未结婚的 15 至 24 岁人群中,2002 年至 2017 年期间首次阴道性交(VI)和使用避孕套的趋势。
数据来自国家家庭增长调查。我们使用逻辑回归和 Stata 的 margins 包来估计首次 VI 时报告 VI 和避孕套使用的百分比,并进行跨时间的统计比较。
20 至 24 岁男性的 VI 保持稳定,但自 2002 年以来,他们使用避孕套的比例有所增加。对于 15 至 19 岁的男性,VI 在 2011-2015 年后下降,但避孕套使用增加(83%)。在女性中,尽管 15 至 19 岁女性在 2006-2010 年和 2011-2015 年期间避孕套使用增加(69%-75%),但报告 VI 和伴侣使用避孕套的总体百分比保持稳定。
年轻男性首次性交时使用避孕套的比例有所增加,但年轻女性并未出现类似趋势。了解原因对于制定增加避孕套使用率的策略至关重要。
