PURPOSE
In the context of a community development project related to adolescent sexual health, this study was carried out at Amherst Regional High School (ARHS) in Amherst, Nova Scotia, to assess students' sexual health knowledge, gender differences in knowledge, and associations between knowledge and sexual behaviours.
METHODS
A 29-item scale assessed knowledge in five areas of sexual health. Gender differences in correct responses to questions were compared. Overall knowledge scores were compared by gender, grade, and sexual activity, and tested for association with sexual behaviours.
RESULTS
Of 796 students, 80% participated. Sexual health knowledge scores were highest for sexually active females. Higher score was associated with oral contraceptive use and later sexual debut. Knowledge was highest for HIV/AIDS. Students were insufficiently aware of their right to patient confidentiality.
CONCLUSIONS
ARHS students lack knowledge in some sexual health areas. School programs should consider these findings, and work to improve school-based sexual health education.
目的
在一项与青少年性健康相关的社区发展项目背景下，本研究在新斯科舍省阿默斯特的阿默斯特地区高中（ARHS）开展，旨在评估学生的性健康知识、知识方面的性别差异以及知识与性行为之间的关联。
方法
一个包含29个条目的量表评估了性健康五个领域的知识。比较了对问题正确回答的性别差异。按性别、年级和性活动比较了总体知识得分，并测试了与性行为的关联。
结果
796名学生中，80%参与了研究。性活跃女性的性健康知识得分最高。较高得分与口服避孕药的使用和较晚的首次性行为相关。对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的知识了解最多。学生对患者保密权的认识不足。
结论
ARHS的学生在一些性健康领域缺乏知识。学校项目应考虑这些发现，并努力改进基于学校的性健康教育。
