Overview

Cross-sectional analysis reveals more liberal attitudes toward premarital sexual activity in adolescents, indicating key influencing factors.

Key Points

  • More than half of adolescents (54.6%) displayed liberal attitudes toward premarital sexual activity, reflecting changing perspectives.
  • Factors associated with liberal attitudes included being male and discussing sexuality with family, highlighting the role of gender and communication.
  • Younger adolescents showed less liberal attitudes, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to address their beliefs about sexuality.
  • Strategies, including internet-based interventions, could effectively address negative attitudes in adolescents regarding sexual health.
