This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College students are at high risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV⁄AIDS due to the high frequency of unprotected sexual activity (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2003). Condom use research among college aged youth has primarily concentrated on individual decision making processes with some recent focus on the impact of peer norms. To further understand college students' choices regarding sexual risk behavior, the current research examines the influence of the parent-college student relationship on college students' decisions about condom use. Building on previous research in sexual risk and alcohol use literature, the current study examines the role of parent-young adult relationship variables (i.e. facilitation of independence, and affective quality) on condom use. Parental influence has been an important predictor in other areas of college student life but has not been examined in the college student sexual risk literature. Results and implications for future studies are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, young people aged 18 to 25 are at a significant risk for acquiring and transmitting HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) and other STIs (sexually transmitted infections). Primary developmental processes that place college students particularly at risk include the experience of intimacy, sexual desires and the centrality of the peer group. During these routine developmental processes, college students experiment with unprotected sex, multiple sex partners and alcohol and illicit drugs, all of which are contributing risk factors for HIV/STI infections. Early diagnosis, treatment and prevention of HIV and other STIs is germane to promoting the sexual health of college students and reducing high HIV/STI infection rates among young people. This edited volume will provide innovative and cutting-edge approaches to prevention for college students and will have a major impact on advancing the interdisciplinary fields of higher education and public health. It will explore core ideas such as hooking up culture, sexual violence, LGBT and students of color, as well as HIV and STI prevention in community colleges, rural colleges and minority serving institutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prevalence of newly diagnosed sexually transmitted infections (STIs) has created urgency in identifying risk factors for STIs and other consequences of unsafe sex, especially for college students, who comprise a significant proportion of the demographic with the highest rates of STIs and unplanned pregnancies. Previous research has highlighted a pattern of risk-taking in college students, which extends to heightened sexual risk-taking, and correlates of this risk-taking behavior. Leveraging relevant theoretical frameworks, the current study examined distal (e.g., gender, adverse childhood experiences), proximal (e.g., mental health symptoms, peer norms), and situational (e.g., substance abuse) variables as predictors of risky sexual behaviors (i.e., unprotected sex, intoxicated sex). Results from the current study provided limited support for previously robust predictors of risky sexual behaviors. The notable exception is that daily substance use and daily approach sexual motives emerged as significant predictors of daily risky sexual behaviors in multi-level regression models. Although these findings may have the potential to inform intervention programs, replication studies are needed to more firmly establish the importance of these predictors, over and above previously robust predictors of risky sexual behaviors among college students.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One important task of emerging adulthood is the formation of romantic partnerships and initiation of sexual relationships. For many women, college serves as an environment that tends to foster sexual exploration and development, as college students are exposed to increased independence from parents, are surrounded by same-age peers, and have limited real-world responsibilities. Further, for many women, college is the first experience of long term romantic relationships and students may also become sexually active. However, in the process of navigating these tasks related to sexual development, many college women engage in sexual risk behaviors, resulting in various physical, emotional, and social consequences. Such risk behaviors include uncommitted or casual sex, consuming alcohol or using drugs before or during sex, impulsive sexual behaviors, and engaging in sexual behaviors with risky partners. Certain aspects of campus culture can certainly contribute to encouraging or promoting engagement in sexual risk behaviors. Previous research has supported that there are likely many unique individual and environmental influences that affect college women's sexual decision making and development. Additionally, some research has specifically examined profiles of young adults' sexual behavior, and have identified several distinct behavioral groups, highlighting multiple non-risky and risky sexual behavior profiles. This research supports the notion that college students are engaging in different patterns of sexual behaviors, varying in risk level. However, there is limited work overall in this area, and there are several limitations among the existing literature, including utilizing a narrow definition of sexual risk behavior (e.g., only assessing lifetime sexual partners, dichotomizing behavior as risky or not risky), examining specific subgroups only (e.g. African American women), and largely failing to consider environmental and external influences on sexual behavior among college women. In order to address the limitations in the current literature and to gain a clearer understanding of the different profiles of sexual behavior among this population, the current dissertation sought to identify profiles of sexual risk behavior by utilizing a latent profile analysis among a sample of 1,534 sexually active college women between the ages of 18 and 25. Specifically, sexual behavior profiles related to a number of sexual risk behaviors (e.g., uncommitted and causal sexual behaviors, unexpected and unanticipated sexual behaviors, and alcohol-related sexual behaviors) were examined. Further, using multinomial logistic regressions, individual and microsystem correlates associated with profile membership were further examined, including sexual motives, sexual functioning and satisfaction, drinking behavior, psychological adjustment, perception of peer norms, and perception of peer approval of sexual risk behaviors. Results supported that the data best fit a four class model of the following four profiles: low risk, moderate risk: party hookups, moderate risk: risky partners, and high risk. Notable correlates related to profile membership included hazardous drinking, endorsement of coping motives for sex, sexual satisfaction, perception of peer norms, and perception of peer approval. Though there are some limitations of the current research, this dissertation provides evidence of the presence of different behavioral patterns regarding sexual risk behavior among college women. Further research directions and specific clinical implications are discussed, as the results provide valuable information that could contribute to tailoring sexual health interventions among college women.

Book excerpt: Research has shown a link between sexual risk taking among college women and a decrease in self-esteem. The primary purpose of this study is to explore the sexual risk-taking practices occurring within the academic achieving, more affluent, Caucasian and female college student population. The secondary purpose of this study is to explore what sexual risk-taking patterns exist within behavioral and sociocultural constructed variables and demographic information among college women. The variables examined are religion, self-esteem and reported depressive symptoms. Additional variables used during analysis are body weight and race and/or ethnicity of college women. There are three primary research questions being examined in this study: (a) Do college women with higher academic achievement report more sexual risk-taking practices than those with lower academic achievement? (b) Do women of a higher socioeconomic status choose birth control over disease prevention in their sexual encounters? (c) Do behavioral and sociocultural variables make a difference in risky sexual behavior of college women? The American College Health Association (ACHA) National College Health Assessment II (NCHA-II) has been used to measure the college student health habits and practices at over 540 college and universities in the United States and Canada. The instrument was administered online in spring 2010 and received 872 responses, of which 542 were from female students. The data is analyzed through multiple logistic regressions. Findings of statistical significance were found between academic achievement and sexual risk taking, the number of partners a college woman has and sexual risk taking, and increase in human papillomavirus (HPV). This study also affirmed prior research that there was a significant difference in the sexual risk taking between college women who had been diagnosed with depression in the last year. The study demonstrates the connection between depressive symptoms and sexual risk taking. The research does not present a judgment about sex--but rather, evidence regarding the lack of disease prevention, the long-term implications, and possible causes of increases in casual sex on college campuses.

Download or read book Perceived Peer Norms, Health Beliefs, and Their Links to Sexual Risk Behavior Among College Students written by Cassandra Lee Hartman and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous research suggests that the Health Belief Model and the model of Pluralistic Ignorance are used interdependently to account for individuals' engagement in sexual risk behavior (Wulfert & Wan, 1995; Miller & McFarland, 1991; Downing-Matibag & Geisinger, 2009). The present study investigates if health belief variables (i.e., perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, and perceived self-efficacy) moderate or mediate the association between perceived peer norms and sexual risk behavior among college students. Results did not provide support for health belief variables acting as a moderator or a mediator of the association between perceived peer norms and sexual risk behavior. However, the results indicate that perceived peer norms consistently predicted sexual risk behavior among college students. These findings underscore findings from previous research regarding how important our perception of our peers is, and how this perception may drive our own behavior.

This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The years spent in college are a period of increased risky sexual behavior (RSB). RSB includes any behavior(s) that increases the likelihood of negative consequences associated with sexual contact. Variables such as gender and alcohol use are predictors of RSB, but our understanding of RSB and predictors is incomplete. Delay Discounting (DD), Consideration of Future Consequences (CFC) and Relative Reinforcing Efficacy (RRE) have been implicated in health risk behaviors and may predict engagement in RSB among students. We examined the relationship between these variables, established predictors (e.g., impulsivity) and RSB among students (N = 364; 76% female) controlling for gender, ethniticy, drinking and relationship status. When entered together in one model, RRE was the most robust predictors of RSB in our sample. DD was also significant. In seperate models, trait impulsivity accounted for the largest amount of variance compared to all other predictors. These results suggest the value of sexual activity relative to other reinforcers may play an important role in RSB.

Book excerpt: This research study examined sexual behaviors of college students in relation to the effects of race, socioeconomic status, and religious commitment. One hundred and ninety eight ECU students responded to a survey administered through Perseus. Data were analyzed using the SPSS analysis software. Results indicated that those with a high religious commitment have a lower level of sexual risk-taking. There was a significant difference between college student's religious commitment and sexual risk-taking. Students with low and moderate religious commitment participated in moderate sexual risk-taking behaviors. When variables were assessed together, there were no apparent differences in sexual risk-taking behaviors based on race or religious commitment, which indicates that race and religious commitment are interrelated and the effects of each independently are difficult to determine. These research findings can be useful in guiding the development of culturally-relevant sexuality education programs.
