Hispanic and White College Students' Sexual Behavior: More Similar than Different?
Oswalt, Sara B.; Wyatt, Tammy Jordan
Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, v13 n3 p206-222 Jul 2014
Public health data have shown higher rates of unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections for Hispanic individuals as compared with White individuals in the United States. This study compared sexual health behaviors and sexual outcomes between Hispanic and White college students (N = 1,008) at a Hispanic serving institution. Using chi-square, Mann-Whitney U, and Brown-Forsythe tests, few differences between the groups were found. Possible causes for this non-difference and implications for college health professionals and campus administrators are discussed.
