In 1995, the Latina adolescent birth rate surpassed that of African Americans for the first time. This article investigates cultural and social factors affecting the initiation of sexual intercourse among Latina adolescent mothers in Los Angeles. The data are from life history interviews with forty young mothers and their partners conducted in 1994 to 1997. Results suggest that sexual intercourse is initiated within the context of the couple's developing relationship, and that the course of relationships is highly scripted. Men pressure for sex and women resist. Women should be ignorant about sex, but control access to intercourse. Sex is never discussed. Thus, it is unexpected, and contraception other than withdrawal is not used. This script places young Latinas at enormous risk for pregnancy and STDs.

BACKGROUND: Physical activity is one of the most important factors that affect human health; it reduces the chances of hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, breast and colon cancer, and depression.OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study were to measure prevalence of physical activity and to determine the factors affecting the level of physical activity among medical student in Jazan University.METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted among the students of medical colleges of Jazan University. A random sample of 419 was determined using most recent physical activity prevalence. A validated self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection.RESULTS: There is a high prevalence of inactivity among study participants (88.1%). Females (91.7%) were more significantly (p value=0.013) inactive than males (83.8%). The most influential barrier perceived by participants is (heavy) academic work as well as lack of places for physical activity; the latter factor being more effective in hindering female students' physical activity.CONCLUSION: Results revealed that the inactivity rate was very high among medical students. The results of this study call for a well-planned intervention at the university level for improving the level of physical activity among university students.

The purpose of the study. The purpose of the study is to develop scientifically based proposals to increase the university performance indicators in the international institutional rating QS to the required values, taking into account the presence of a combination of latent (hidden) factors, the degree of achievement of the set values of the basic indicators and, as a result, the university ranking level.Materials and methods. To achieve this goal, methods of statistical analysis (correlation-regression and factor analysis) were used, which made it possible to identify the degree of influence of latent factors on basic indicators and the main indicator (rating functional). During the study, the following tasks were solved: identification of latent factors affecting the basic indicators of the university, an assessment of their significance and degree of influence on the basic indicators, as well as their grouping. Based on the results of the correlation - regression and factor analysis, measures are formulated to achieve the specified values of the QS University institutional rating indicators.Results. An approach to solving the problem of providing conditions for achieving the required values of university performance indicators in the international institutional ranking QS using models developed based on the methods of correlation-regression and factor analysis is proposed. Estimates of the relationship of indicators and university ranking based on the methods of correlation and regression analysis are obtained. A comparative analysis of the results obtained at the universities of the reference group is made. The problem of identifying factors that influence the change in the values of indicators is solved; the degree of this influence is assessed. Based on the results obtained, reasonable proposals have been developed to achieve the required values of the basic indicators and the rating functional of the university.Conclusion. The results obtained in the course of the study made it possible to justify the measures necessary to solve the problem of achieving the specified performance indicators of the university. Based on the correlation model, correlation dependencies between the rating functional and basic indicators are obtained. Interpretation of the results of factor analysis allowed us to identify a set of factors that have a significant impact on the basic indicators. It is shown that measures to achieve the specified indicators must be carried out taking into account the revealed correlation dependencies between factors and basic indicators, as well as the interpretation results of the developed factor model.
