To describe receipt of condom information from formal sources and parents among sexually experienced and sexually inexperienced adolescents in the United States.
Data come from the 2015-2019 National Survey of Family Growth and a sample of 15-to-19-year-olds.
Most adolescent females and males reported receipt of condom information from any source, with sexually experienced adolescents more likely to do so. Close to one-third of adolescents, regardless of sexual experience, reported sex education about condoms from only formal sources, with small proportions reporting receipt of this information from only parents. Receiving condom information from both formal sources and parents was more common among sexually experienced adolescents, whereas not receiving this information from either source was more frequently reported among sexually inexperienced adolescents.
This study highlights disparities in condom information receipt based on sexual experience and underscores the need to provide both sexually experienced and sexually inexperienced youth with condom knowledge and information to protect their sexual health.
描述美国有性经验和无性经验的青少年从正式渠道和父母那里获得避孕套信息的情况。
数据来自 2015-2019 年全国家庭增长调查和 15-19 岁青少年样本。
大多数青少年女性和男性报告从任何来源获得了避孕套信息，有性经验的青少年更有可能这样做。近三分之一的青少年，无论是否有性经验，报告只从正式渠道接受过关于避孕套的性教育，很少有青少年报告只从父母那里获得过这方面的信息。有性经验的青少年更有可能同时从正式渠道和父母那里获得避孕套信息，而无性经验的青少年则更有可能报告没有从任何来源获得过这方面的信息。
本研究强调了基于性经验的避孕套信息获取方面的差异，并强调需要向有性经验和无性经验的青少年提供避孕套知识和信息，以保护他们的性健康。
