  • University students are a key demographic for sexual health interventions.
  • Sexual risk behaviors can lead to unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement and evaluate a program aimed at reducing sexual risk behaviors in university students.
  • To assess the impact of the intervention on condom usage and referrals to sexual health services.

Main Methods:

  • A pre- and post-test design was employed.
  • Descriptive statistics were used to analyze data from 59 freshman participants.
  • The study evaluated an STI Risk Behavior Reduction Program.

Main Results:

  • Condom use for pregnancy prevention increased from 18 to 23 participants post-intervention.
  • Referrals to community centers significantly increased from 72 to 148 after program implementation.
  • Participants were predominantly 19-year-old females.

Conclusions:

  • The STI Risk Behavior Reduction Program was associated with increased condom usage and referrals.
  • Enhanced knowledge of sexual risk behaviors and STI symptoms likely contributed to the observed outcomes.
  • Early recognition of STI symptoms and seeking treatment were positively impacted.
