One-to-One examination of Sexual Ideology and Sexual Practices among Adolescents

What is it about?

Unsafe sexual behaviours and associated sexual ideas among adolescents may contribute to adverse health consequences for sexual health in adulthood. The patterns of sexual ideology and sociodemographic factors profiles on adolescents’ sexual behaviours have not been the subject of a definite consensus in research. The purpose of this study was to investigate the attitude and prevalence of early sexual debut and associated risk sexual behavior among adolescents in Tanzania as the evidence from baseline data in a Randomized Controlled Trial

Why is it important?

Studying sexual ideology among adolescents may add new knowledge to the existing comprehensive sexual education and youth programs already in place. This study addressed an issue of public concern, including early onset of sexual activities among adolescents, unsafe sexual behaviours that expose them to teenage pregnancies and/or Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), and incidences of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The results of this study may serve as the basis for further interventional research or significant initiatives aimed at addressing sexual and reproductive health problems in teenagers. The findings of this study can be used to develop unique strategies for involving and empowering adolescents with good sexual ideas against sexual activities. If the findings of this study are published in several scholarly journals, they will provide a useful understanding of the topic under study for further innovative and action research
