Private and Catholic Schools were included for the first time. Findings from this survey can be compared with the 1992 andamp; 1997 surveys. Some new items have also been added. Levels of knowledge : Levels of knowledge Knowledge of HIV transmission has declined over the past decade While knowledge of STI transmission shows some improvement, it is still poor especially in relation to chlamydia and its potential to cause sterility Knowledge about Hepatitis A, B andamp; C transmission is still poor but has improved to some extent since 1997 Attitudes: Attitudes Attitudes towards people with HIV are generally positive Attitudes towards injecting drug users are, on the whole, negative Attitudes towards gay and lesbian peers are generally positive, although more so amongst young women than amongst young men Sexual behaviour: Sexual behaviour The majority of young people are sexually active in some way and this has increased over the last decade Deep kissing (80%) Genital touching/ being touched (67%) Giving/ receiving oral sex (45.5%) Sex without a condom (20.5%) Sex with a condom (33%) Condom Use: Condom Use Nearly 2/3 of sexually active year 10 students reported always using condoms but only 40% of year 12 students regularly used them. Condoms appear to be primarily used for contraception rather than STI prevention. Rates of condom use have not changed over time and still represent an unacceptably low level of consistent condom use Pregnancy: Pregnancy 6.1% of students had at some time had sex which resulted in a pregnancy and another 7.5% were uncertain as to whether this was the case or not. Young men were less likely to be certain than were young women. Partner Change: Partner Change Overall 23% of sexually active young men and 17 % of sexually active young women had 3 or more partners in the previous year. While, over the last decade, there has marked improvement in the rates of partner change amongst year 12 students, this is not the case with year 10 students for whom rates are continuing to increase. Unwanted Sex: Unwanted Sex Young people reported high levels of confidence to say no to unwanted sex However 28.1% of young women and 23.3% of young men had experienced unwanted sex The most common reason given for unwanted sex was being too drunk (16%) or pressure from a sexual partner (13%) Most Recent Partner: Most Recent Partner Nearly two thirds of the sample reported that their most recent sexual partner was a steady boyfriend/girlfriend although 18% of young men (as opposed to 4.6% of young women) reported their partner as being someone they met for the first time. Most young people reported feeling positive about their most recent sexual encounter Same Sex Attraction: Same Sex Attraction 3% of young men reported same sex attraction and 1.3% were unsure 7% of young women reported same sex attraction and 2.1% were unsure Both young men and young women were more likely to report being attracted to both sexes than exclusively to the same sex 2% of the most recent sexual contact was with a same sex partner Health Status: Health Status Self-reported health status was generally good Nevertheless young men reported more positive health status than did young women Same sex attracted young men and young women reported lower health status than those who were opposite sex attracted. Alcohol and Drugs: Alcohol and Drugs Between 1997 and 2002 rates of alcohol use and the frequency of binge drinking have increased 85% of students in Year 10 (79% in 1997) and 94% in Year 12 (88% in 1997) drank alcohol Both the 1997 and 2002 surveys found students drank large amounts of alcohol when they drank – 3 or more drinks on any one occasion for young women and 5 or more for young men.. Alcohol and Drugs: Alcohol and Drugs While year 12 students were more likely than year 10 students to binge drink, year 10 students showed higher rates of increase in the amount of alcohol they drank on one occasion, with the Year 10 young women rapidly catching up to the year 10 young men. In 1997 43% of young women in Year 10 were binge drinking and this figure had increased to 59% in 2002 Injecting drug use remains rare Sources of information: Sources of information School programs remain a highly valued source of information and use of them has increased in 2002 Parents, friends and siblings are also important sources of information about HIV, STIs and contraception. However, students reported low levels of confidence to discuss sexuality or contraception with parents. Sources of Information: Sources of Information Despite almost universal access to the internet, most students did not use it as a source of information about sexuality and sexual health When they did use the internet for this purpose they were more likely to use web pages than chat rooms or discussion groups Issues of Concern: Issues of Concern Declining levels of knowledge about HIV and poor levels of knowledge about other STIs and Hepatitis A, B andamp; C Increase in the levels of sexual activity combined with inconsistent condom use and inconsistent use of contraception Rates of pregnancy Issues of concern: Issues of concern Rates of unwanted sex, particularly in relation to alcohol use. Increasing rates of alcohol use and binge drinking with the patterns of young men and young women becoming increasingly similar Issues of Concern: Issues of Concern Young men in year 10 are of particular concern They have poor knowledge about STIs, high rates of partner change, high rates of sex with someone they have met for the first time . They have high rates of binge drinking and were more likely than others to be drunk or high at their last sexual encounter However, the alcohol use of young women in year 10 is also of concern Conclusion: Conclusion The findings of this report indicate a continued and ongoing need for comprehensive sexuality education to be provided consistently to all young Australians from an early age The value that students themselves place on the school-based education they receive is evident in that just over half the survey respondents nominated it as the most used source of sexual health information. Conclusion: Conclusion While there are many challenges for schools, continuing high levels of condom use and other contraceptive use are indicative that health promotion messages for young people, school programs can contribute to behaviour change. Young people can make good decisions about their sexual health if policies, programs and services are available to help them do so. You do not have the permission to view this presentation.
