This is a quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive study, conducted in two consecutive series in 2007 (S1) and 2008 (S2), comprised of 350 people between 15 and 29 years of age, with the aim to understand the profile of adolescents and young adults from the hip hop culture of Seville, Spain, and to detect risky sexual behavior in their everyday lives. Data were obtained by means of a self-administered questionnaire followed by a statistical analysis, corresponding to a sexually active population (91%), who initiated their sexual experiences before 16.5 years of age. Most state they are heterosexual and use contraception. In conclusion, the image of this group is tied to virile masculine stereotypes, constituting the imaginary of this body of people. Direct interventions are needed to promote health and disease prevention, before adolescence, involving health services, families and schools, which address sexual education and love, taking into account the social construct and everyday life.

Number Of Sexual Partners

Although dating applications (apps) have become popular among young adults, there is a dearth of information regarding the sexual health implications among Brazilian college students. This study examined risky sexual behavior and attitudes of dating app users, based on their sex in Brazil’s Legal Amazon. Three hundred and fifty-nine students reported their sociodemographic data, dating app use, and sexual behaviors and attitudes through self-administered questionnaires. Bivariate analyses and analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Bonferroni post-hoc tests were performed. Dating app use was reported by 238 (66.3%) subjects, most of whom had an encounter and sex with a casual partner. Women frequently requested condom use. Trust in one’s partner or having repeated encounters were the main reasons for engaging in risky sexual behavior. Men had a greater number of sexual partners and less protective attitudes. Sexual health awareness by apps was not reported by 97% of women, and most of them were not tested for sexually transmitted infections. A positive attitude toward sexual health was not a predictor of safe sex. Important similarities and differences regarding risky sexual behaviors and attitudes were observed between the sexes, many of which correlated with increased sexual vulnerability during the sexual encounters arranged through the dating apps. This cross-sectional study supports efforts on sexual health promotion and sexual education implementation in the face of growing usage of apps among young adults for sexual matters.

Introduction: Young people often present risky sexual behavior and are more exposed to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the sexual behavior and HBV serological profile in the young population attended at a Counseling and Testing Centre (CTC) in the southwest of Goiás. Methods: Quantitative cross-sectional study with descriptive and retrospective analysis conducted at the CTC of Rio Verde. Data from young adults (18-29 years) attended in 2018 were examined to determine the seroprevalence and sexual behavior of HBV. Results: The sample consisted of 1,455 individuals, with 1,423 nonreactive for HBV (HBsAg and total anti-HBc negative), 2 with serological scar (total anti-HBc and anti-HBs positive), and 8 reagents (HBsAg and total anti-HBc positive). Of these, 63% (5) were males and 38% (3) females, with an average age of 24.6 years, 75% (6) were single, and a mean education of 4.25 years. The average number of sexual partnerships in the past 12 months was 2.71. Notably, 25% (2) had previous sexually transmitted infection (STI) and 75% (6) reported drug use, with alcohol being the most frequent. Regarding the use of condoms with fixed partnership, 57% (4) men did not use them. As reason for not wearing a condom, 71% (5) of them claimed trust in the sexual partnership. With casual partners, 14% (1) did not use condoms, 14% (1) justified their nonuse by trust, and 14% (1) were under the effect of drugs/alcohol. Conclusion: The prevalence of HBV in young adults who attended the CTC in 2018 was 0.55% with HBsAg and total anti-HBc positive and 0.14% with total anti-HBc and anti-HBs positive. Among those infected, most were single men, brown, with low education, and reported alcohol consumption and inconsistent use of condoms in sexual intercourse for both fixed and casual partnerships. These data reinforce the need for STI preventive strategies in this population.

Strobe Statement

Abstract Background Inpatient rehabilitation improves physical and psychosocial performance in childhood cancer patients and their families. Two kinds of inpatient rehabilitation are available in specialized institutions in Germany: family-oriented rehabilitation or peer group-oriented rehabilitation for adolescents and young adults (AYA). Our study aimed to find out what Swiss childhood and AYA cancer patients and their families thought about the rehabilitation programs in which they had participated. Patients and methods We conducted a questionnaire-based, cross-sectional study of Swiss childhood and AYA cancer patients and their families whose inpatient rehabilitation stays were scheduled to take place in Germany between May 2012 and March 2019. We analyzed the data descriptively and present our findings in accordance with the STROBE statement. Results Of the 57 eligible families contacted, 38 (67%) responded. Most rated the rehabilitation stay as very good (68%) or good (26%). Nearly all participants emphasized that these programs should be available to all affected patients and their families. Most (80%) thought the program gave them enough valuable information to enable them to cope with daily life after the stay ended. Only one fifth (19%) of the rehabilitation stays were fully funded by the health or disability insurance. Conclusion Participants expressed an overwhelmingly positive opinion about the rehabilitation programs they attended. We are convinced that childhood and AYA cancer patients and their families in Switzerland benefit from these programs and encourage insurances to cover the costs.

Summary Objective: To estimate the prevalence and factors associated with illicit drug use by adolescents and young adults of a formal urban settlement. Method: Cross-sectional study including adolescents and young adults 12-24 years of an urban settlement in the Midwest Region of Brazil. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using Stata, version 12.0. We used Poisson regression model to estimate the factors associated with illicit drug use. Results: Of the total participants (n=105), 27.6% (95CI 20.0-36.9%) had used illicit drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, crack, LSD and inhalants. The consumption of these substances was associated with male gender, use of body piercing and/or tattoos, licit drug use and self-report of signs and/or symptoms of sexually transmitted infections. Conclusion: High prevalence of illicit drug use was found in the individuals investigated, ratifying the presence of risk factors to the vulnerability of the settlers to use these substances in the urban settlement population.
