หัวเรื่อง

Teenagers -- Sexual behavior

คำอธิบายรายละเอียดของเอกสาร

Thailand's sixth five-year development plan (1987-1991) clearly states the need to increase health and social service programs for the mounting number of Thai adolescents. Projections from the 1980 census indicate that by 1991 there will be at least 12 million Thai male and female youths aged 15 to 24 and that 72% of this group will be single.

สรุปเนื้อหา/บทคัดย่อ

A sexual behavior questionnaire form consisting of 34 items was given to 384 male and female youths aged 13 to 24 in provincial urban and rural areas of north and northeast Thailand and successfully completed by 361. Approximately 100 interviews per day could be easily managed by a team of four staff but the questionnaires were administered only on weekend to improve attendance rates. To minimize non-response for sensitive items, an approach which gave a detailed explanation of each question to a group to 12 individuals seemed optimal based on the experience of this study. At least 66% of male and 9% of female adolescents were found sexually active. Ignorance of the risk of conception was greater among rural adolescents than urban; but knowledge levels were low for all groups. The most predisposing factors to premarital sex among female adolescents were older age, living away from parents and relatives and residing in urbanized areas. This survey was a purposive selection of youth in the provincial urban and rural environment and therefore the data do not represent Thai adolescents. A larger, nationally representative sample of non-Bangkok youth was recommended to verify the findings on contraceptive awareness and risk behavior. Only then could accurate recommendations be made to the relevant government and private agencies concerning special educational programs and services for Thai adolescents.
