这项研究确定了在美国东南部一所大型州立大学就读的不同种族的多民族大学生(n=338)中危险性行为的相关因素和预测因素。在分析中，9个风险因素和5个保护因素被作为独立/预测因素。因变量是危险性行为量表上的分数。9个危险因素中的6个和5个保护因素中的4个与危险性行为量表的得分显著相关。回归分析确定了风险性行为的六个重要预测因素：最近六个月的伴侣数量；宗教价值观；避孕套态度；第一次性行为的年龄；依赖酒精；以及居住地点。这些术语解释了危险性行为得分总方差的29.4%。对预防计划和未来研究的影响也被注意到。
This research identifies the correlates and predictors of risky sexual behaviors among an ethnically diverse multiethnic sample of college students attending a large state university in the southeastern U.S. (N=338). Nine risk and five protective factors served as independent/predictive factors in the analyses. The dependent variable was scores on a risky sexual behaviors scale. Six of the nine risk factors and four of the five protective factors were significantly correlated with scores on the risky sexual behaviors scale. Regression analyses identified six significant predictors of risky sexual practices: number of partners in last six months; religious values; condom attitudes; age at first sex; hinging on alcohol; and residential locus. These terms explained 29.4% of the total variance in risky sexual behavior scores. Implications for prevention programs and future research are noted.
