Early identification of sexual risk taking and exposure to violence is fundamental when seeking to strengthen young people's health. The purpose of this study was to study factors associated with sexual risk taking and ill health, as well as to study gender differences, and the associations amongst exposure to multiple forms of violence, sexual risk taking and ill health.
This was a cross-sectional study based on data from 3,205 young people answering a questionnaire belonging to the Sexual health Identification Tool (SEXIT 2.0), during consultations at 12 youth clinics in Sweden. The analyses are based on descriptive statistics and nominal multiple regression analysis.
Male, transgender and non-binary youths reported significantly more events of sexual risk taking and ill health compared to women. Those who reported sexual initiation before the age of 15 (OR 2.87, CI 1.81-4.56), three or more sexual partners in the past 12 months (OR 2.68, CI 1.70-4.22) and to have ever experienced an unintended pregnancy (OR 2.29, CI 1.32-3.97) were more than twice as likely to report exposure to physical, emotional and sexual violence. Transgender, non-binary youths and women were more exposed to multiple violence (OR 3.68, 13.50) compared to men.
Transgender and non-binary youths are exposed to significantly more violence compared to women and men. Experiences of sexual risk taking and ill health demonstrated strong associations with exposure to multiple violence.
在寻求加强年轻人健康时，早期识别性风险行为和暴力暴露至关重要。本研究旨在研究与性风险行为和健康不良相关的因素，以及研究性别差异，以及接触多种形式的暴力、性风险行为和健康不良之间的关联。
这是一项基于 3205 名年轻人在瑞典 12 家青年诊所咨询时回答性健康识别工具（SEXIT 2.0）问卷数据的横断面研究。分析基于描述性统计和名义多重回归分析。
男性、跨性别和非二元性别青年报告的性风险行为和健康不良事件明显多于女性。那些报告在 15 岁之前开始性行为（OR 2.87，CI 1.81-4.56）、过去 12 个月有三个或更多性伴侣（OR 2.68，CI 1.70-4.22）和曾经经历过意外怀孕（OR 2.29，CI 1.32-3.97）的人，报告接触身体、情感和性暴力的可能性是两倍多。跨性别、非二元性别青年和女性比男性更容易接触到多种暴力（OR 3.68，13.50）。
跨性别和非二元性别青年比女性和男性更容易接触到更多的暴力。性风险行为和健康不良的经历与接触多种暴力之间存在很强的关联。
