This study evaluated the sexual knowledge (including contraceptive and reproductive knowledge), contraceptive use, and self-esteem among a sample of 158 male and female United States Navy sailors assigned to Navy ships. In spite of the fact that men and women viewed themselves as relatively knowledgeable with respect to contraception, results showed substantial knowledge deficits. Women demonstrated significantly greater sexual knowledge than men, and contraceptive/ reproductive knowledge was highly correlated with self-reported use of contraceptives. Finally, self-esteem was highly correlated with sexual knowledge and certain contraceptive use behaviors.
本研究评估了158名被分配到海军舰艇上的美国海军男女水兵样本的性知识（包括避孕和生殖知识）、避孕措施使用情况及自尊水平。尽管男性和女性都认为自己在避孕方面知识相对丰富，但结果显示存在大量知识欠缺。女性表现出的性知识显著多于男性，且避孕/生殖知识与自我报告的避孕措施使用高度相关。最后，自尊与性知识及某些避孕措施使用行为高度相关。
