Pages

  39-51

Abstract

 Background: This paper aims to examine the reproductive health and behaviors which might expose YOUNG PEOPLE at risks of STIs/HIV and potential correlates of such behaviors among female college students in Tehran.Methods: This paper focuses on the study conducted on a sample of 1743 female undergraduate students in four multidisciplinary universities in Tehran during 2005−2006 using a two-stage stratified cluster sampling. The main focus was to determine the predictors of premarital heterosexual REPRODUCTIVE BEHAVIOR among female students.Results: The mean age of the unmarried students was 21.4 years. Low self-efficacy (OR=7.87, p<0.001), perceived peers' liberal attitude on virginity (OR=4.33), perception of parents' liberal attitude towards relationship with the opposite sex and poor family atmosphere (OR=3.04 and 2.20, p<0.001, respectively) were predictors of ever having any type of sexual experience after controlling for other factors. The only predictors of penetrative sex remained in the logistic model were older age (OR=5.95), low self-efficacy (OR=10.86), poor family atmosphere (OR=2.96), liberal parental attitude (OR=4.29) and liberal peer norms on virginity (OR=4.90).Conclusion: Interventional programs need to be designed at various levels such as enhancing self-efficacy, informing families of the protective role of a balanced control and monitoring over adolescents' behavior and choices of peer network against premarital sexual activity.
