Sexual Health Among Male College Students in the United States and the Netherlands
Dodge, Brian; Sandfort, Theo G. M.; Yarber, William L.; de Wit, John
American Journal of Health Behavior, v29 n2 p172-182 Mar 2005
Objectives: To assess differences in sexual health behaviors, outcomes, and potential sociocultural determinants among male college students in the United States and the Netherlands. Methods: Survey data were collected from random samples of students from both national cultures. Results: American men were more likely to report inadequate contraception, HIV/STD infection, and unintended pregnancy than were Dutch men. Religiosity and sexuality education were able to explain national differences in these sexual health outcomes. Conclusions: Findings suggest that sexuality education seems to decrease, rather than increase, sexual risk in heterosexually active male college students.
