The development of effective health promotion practices and education programs to reduce rates of sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancy requires accurate, up-to-date information about young people's sexual behaviors.
To provide prevalence rates on sexual behaviors and condom and contraceptive use for Australian year 10-12 heterosexual students in a nationally representative sample.
A nationally representative sample of 2,301 male and 2,055 female year 10 through 12 heterosexual students were recruited to an online survey about their lifetime sexual behaviors and condom and contraceptive use. Means and 95% confidence intervals of weighted data, based on the national census, were reported.
The main outcomes of this study were prevalence of sexual behaviors by gender (excluding trans and gender diverse) and prevalence of contraception and condom use among sexually active students by gender.
The most common sexual behavior was masturbation (96.3% of male students, 78.9% of female students), and the least common behavior was anal or vaginal sex (43.7% of male students, 48.5% of female students). Of the sexually active students, condoms were used by 78.1% of male students and 77.5% of female students at first sexual experience and by 65.1% of male students and 56.8% of female students at their most recent sexual experience, whereas 91.6% of male students and 92.3% of female students used some form of contraception at most recent sexual experience.
Results provide up-to-date information on the practices clinicians who are likely to encounter with heterosexual cisgender adolescent populations in Australia.
STRENGTHS & LIMITAITONS: The study represents the largest representative cohort of adolescents in Australia to date. However, comparisons with previous representative studies were limited owing to differing samples by age and culture.
Compared with earlier Australian studies, young heterosexual cisgender people today engage in slightly less oral and penetrative sexual behaviors, with the exception of more women receiving oral sex, and are generally consistent in condom and contraceptive use.

为了制定有效的健康促进实践和教育计划，以降低性传播感染和非意愿妊娠的发生率，我们需要掌握关于年轻人性行为的准确、最新信息。
提供澳大利亚 10 至 12 年级异性恋学生性行为、 condom（避孕套）和 contraceptive（避孕药）使用的流行率数据，该数据基于全国代表性样本。
对全国范围内的 2301 名男性和 2055 名女性 10 至 12 年级异性恋学生进行了一项在线调查，内容包括他们的终生性行为、 condom 和避孕药使用情况。报告了基于全国人口普查的加权数据的平均值和 95%置信区间。
本研究的主要结果是按性别（不包括跨性别和性别多样化）报告性行为的流行率，以及按性别报告有性行为的学生中 condom 和避孕药的使用流行率。
与之前的澳大利亚研究相比，如今的异性恋顺性别年轻人的口腔和插入式性行为略有减少，除了更多的女性接受口交，并且 condom 和避孕药的使用总体上保持一致。Fisher CM、Kauer S、Mikolajczak G 等人。澳大利亚异性恋青少年性行为、 condom 使用和避孕药使用的流行率。性医学杂志 2020;17:2313-2321.
