Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare unsafe sex experiences of multicultural and non-multiculturaladolescents.
Methods: The study analyzed the data of 3,029 respondents who responded that they had sex inthe Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey of 2018. Weighted percentages and simple and multiplelogistic regression were conducted using SAS 9.2.
Results: As a result of univariate analysis, the odds ratio ofunsafe sex was significantly higher in multicultural adolescents, but the difference between the two groups wasnot significant after controlling for the related variables. Among the covariates, the odds of unsafe sex weresignificantly higher in boys (AOR: 1.34; 95% CI: 1.08~1.66), those who did not live with their family (AOR: 1.68;95% CI: 1.17~2.39), those with low academic achievement (AOR: 1.33; 95% CI: 1.02~1.73), binge drinkers (AOR:1.61; 95% CI: 1.29~2.02), smokers (AOR: 1.37; 95% CI: 1.06~1.78), and those who did not receive sex education(AOR: 1.59; 95% CI: 1.20~2.11).
Conclusion: There was no significant difference in unsafe sex experiencebetween multicultural and non-multicultural adolescents. This study also shows the positive effect of school sexeducation on safe sex in teenagers. It is necessary to strengthen sex education for male students, students notliving with their family, students with low academic achievement, binge drinkers, and smokers.
