Chaliawala and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lack of sexual health knowledge among international students is multi-dimensional and is impacted by culture, society, parental guidance, environment, migration, and belongingness to the new culture. The topics of concern include lack of knowledge regarding reproductive anatomy, safer sex, the concept of consensual sex, pregnancy, abortion, and many others. Engaging in risky sexual behavior is linked with the lack of knowledge and attitudes towards sexual health. The current study aims to explore the sexual health knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of South-Asian international students at the University of Central Oklahoma (UCO). Students for this study were recruited from the UCO international student pool. Students from India, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal were asked to participate. Participants were asked to fill out the survey online through the Qualtrics system. A Kendall's Tau-b correlation was run to determine the relationship between attitude and knowledge/behavior amongst 34 participants. There was a moderate, positive correlation between sexual health attitude and sexual health knowledge/behavior, which was statistically significant at ([tau-b] = 0.531, p = 0.043). The results coincide with the literature that better sexual health knowledge is correlated with less risky behavior and a positive attitude towards sex and sexual health. The results of this study will give a better understanding of the needs related to the sexual health of international students at UCO.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study offers an in-depth investigation into the development of an online, sexual health survey for college students. Within this study the focus areas were limited to three components: (1) sexual knowledge, (2) sexual attitudes, and (3) sexual behavior. Sexual health topics examined within these components included: sexually transmitted diseases, rape susceptibility, alcohol and sexuality, contraceptive methods, and emergency contraception. Within this study psychometric properties of test items and internal consistency of the instrument were examined. Second, multiple correlational analyses were conducted with an established external criterion. Third, the factorial structure of the instrument was investigated. Finally, a follow-up verification of the construct validity was conducted on the final survey instrument. The results of this study identified a five-factor structure with reliability coefficients of 0.74 to 0.91. Convergent and divergent evidence was provided at the item level and the factor level. Based on these results, the final survey contained 24 knowledge items, 48 attitude items, 33 behavior items, 9 demographic items, and 13 social desirability scale items for a total of 127 items.

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Download or read book Sexual Sites Seminal Attitudes written by Sanjay Srivastava and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 2004-03-20 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discussions on sexuality in the South Asian context have tended to focus largely on men`s preoccupations through notions such as `semen-anxiety`. Another restrictive framework is the excessive importance ascribed to religion in everyday life. The result has been a rather narrow debate on sexuality. By providing accounts of a myriad sites and meanings of sexuality, this remarkable volume broadens the debate on sexuality in South Asia. It combines perspectives from history, anthropology, and cultural and literary studies to provide an interdisciplinary exploration of the cultures of, and the multiple meanings and contestations that gather around, masculinities and sexualities. The collection is unique in the breadth of its theoretical concerns; its focus on hitherto marginalized sexual identities; and its novel juxtapositions of analyses of colonial discourses with those of postcolonised modernity.
