性危险行为是一个公共健康问题。尽管性风险行为在经济弱势群体中所占比例过高，但经济匮乏与性风险行为之间联系的潜在机制尚不清楚。本研究的目的是调查性风险的最早指标之一，即性起始年龄，是否能调节年轻男性对成长过程中经济剥夺的看法与成年后的性风险行为之间的联系。六百二十四名男子提供了有关背景变量和风险的数据。 Mplus 版本 8 中进行了路径分析。成长过程中对经济剥夺的看法与开始性行为的年龄较小有关，而这又与早期发生性关系的较高风险、无安全套性行为、性传播感染、意外怀孕和对安全套使用的抵制有关。这些发现凸显了促进性健康和健康公平的重要途径。
Sexual risk behaviors are a public health concern. Although sexual risk behaviors are overrepresented among economically disadvantaged individuals, the mechanisms underlying the link from economic deprivation to sexual risk behaviors are not well understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether one of the earliest indicators of sexual risk, age of sexual initiation, mediates the link between young men’s perceptions of economic deprivation while growing up and sexual risk behaviors in adulthood. Six-hundred twenty-four men provided data on background variables and risk. Path analyses were conducted in Mplus Version 8. Perceptions of economic deprivation while growing up were related to younger age of sexual initiation, which in turn was related to higher risk for sex earlier in a relationship, condomless sex, STIs, unintended pregnancy, and condom use resistance. These findings highlight important avenues for sexual health and health equity promotion.
