The study aimed to assess the prevalence and correlates of sexual risk behaviours among adolescents in Mozambique. In the cross-sectional 'Global School-Based Health Survey (GSHS)', 1918 students aged 11-18 years from Mozambique responded to a questionnaire in 2015. More than half (57.4%) of the students ever had sex, 68.4% among boys and 45.8% among girls. Among students who ever had sex, 41.5% had early sexual debut (<14 years), 57.9% had multiple sexual partners, 25.0% had not used a condom and 42.0% had not used birth control at last sex, and 59.4% engaged in multiple sexual risk behaviour. In adjusted logistic regression analysis, alcohol use, school truancy, older age and male sex were associated with multiple sexual risk behaviours. A large number of adolescents in Mozambique reported sexual risk behaviours, emphasising the need for interventions.
该研究旨在评估莫桑比克青少年中性风险行为的流行情况及其相关因素。在横断面的“全球学校健康调查（GSHS）”中，2015年来自莫桑比克的1918名11至18岁的学生回答了一份问卷。超过一半（57.4%）的学生曾有过性行为，其中男孩为68.4%，女孩为45.8%。在曾有过性行为的学生中，41.5%有过早的性初次接触（<14岁），57.9%有多个性伴侣，25.0%在最近一次性行为中未使用安全套，42.0%在最近一次性行为中未采取避孕措施，59.4%有多种性风险行为。在调整后的逻辑回归分析中，饮酒、逃学、年龄较大和男性性别与多种性风险行为有关。莫桑比克大量青少年报告了性风险行为，这凸显了进行干预的必要性。
