▼ The Government of the Republic of Zambia together with Non-Governmental Organizations have been informing the nation about the dangers of HIV and AIDS since the 1990s. Although the HIV and AIDS pandemic has affected all age groups in society,the most vulnerable groups are women and young people especially girls. The CSO report of 2003 indicated that 57.4 percent of the total population in Zambia was under 20 years and this constitutes the most vulnerable group to HIV infection because they are prone to taking risks because they are curious and ready to experiment. Even more at risk are young girls who (apart from socio cultural constraints) are continuously sought for
sexual relations with older men who believe that their risk of contracting HIV and AIDS
is lessened when they sleep with virgins.
Although HIV knowledge and attitudes of youths are widely discussed among the general population, very little is currently known about the sexual behaviour of college students in the era of HIV and AIDS in Zambia. It is assumed that students in higher institutions of learning are more enlightened and would therefore have a more acceptable attitude towards change of behaviour with regard to issues of HIV risks. This study sought to find out the nature and extent of risky sexual behaviour in the backdrop of HIV and AIDS among college students in Lusaka.This study was mainly designed to examine Zambian college students' sexual practices,norms, beliefs and attitudes in relation to HIV and AIDS. The specific objectives of the study were;
1.To examine sexual risk behaviour of college students.2.To examine gender relations and practices with regard to sexual risk behaviour.3.To identify socio-cultural factors that may contribute to the risk of college youth contracting STIs including HIV.4.To examine the gender differences in knowledge, attitudes and beliefs towards condom use.

How does non-availability of Condoms in Schools affect Sexual Behaviour-A case study in Kabompo District.

▼ The study was conducted in Kabompo and Manyinga Districts among the secondary school going pupils aged between 14 and 20.The study conducted was on how the non-availability of condoms in schools affect sexual behavior among the school going adolescents-A case study in Kabompo District and therefore sought to: (i) assess the knowledge levels of safer sex among the school going youths, (ii) establish the levels of condom use by those that are sexually active among the school going adolescents, (iii) establish how the non-availability of condoms in schools affect sexual behavior among the school going adolescents.
It is estimated that 71% of HIV infections occur via heterosexual contacts where condoms are not used or used inconsistently (WHO, 2010). This has led to calls for ABCs-Abstinence, Be faithful or Condom use.
This was a cross-sectional study with structured questionnaires that were employed to collect data. A sample frame of 288 randomly selected pupils was included in the study, between grades 8-12.
The Picture of the two Districts as far as the Data collected and analyzed was concerned, revealed that the majority (about 60%) of the school going youths was actually engaging in sexual activities. Among those that were engaging in sexual activities, the majority had concurrent multiple partners. The Data also showed some high figures on school dropouts, STIs and abortions indicating that some sexually active teens did not abstain and that not all used protection.
It was further discovered that most pupils had little knowledge about comprehensive family planning methods (duo protection), some female pupils had unsafely aborted i.e. self-induced and by friends. On gender and sexual encounters, males were more likely to engage in sex than their fellow female folks, but at the same time reported using condoms more than the females. When cross tabulation was done on school type and knowledge levels, it was found that the day scholars had more knowledge as compared to the boarders, though surprisingly that the same people that were knowledgeable were more likely to engage in sexual activities.
The picture of the study that was revealed is not very different from other parts of the world that not all sexually active teens will abstain from sexual indulgence as such other countries have been striving to put measures in place to protect them e.g. the establishments of the Health Resource Centers where counseling is done and condoms can be accessed by the pupils that fail to abstain. This therefore suggests that similar measures can be brought to our settings to protect the youth as the case is in PMTCT with now the option B+ and REC strategy in immunization programs.

▼ To date, only one national study has examined patterns of adult sexual knowledge, attitudes and behaviour in New Zealand in the hope of improving sexual and reproductive health outcomes for all New Zealanders. This study was performed nearly two decades ago. The aim of this study is to explore current patterns of sexual health and wellbeing among a sample of adults from the Christchurch metropolitan area. Seven hundred and sixty seven participants were selected from the General and Maori electoral registers and invited to participate in an Internet-based self-administered anonymous survey. Data was collected on sexual health, knowledge, attitudes and behaviour and compared to five previous national studies in adult sexual health and wellbeing. Twenty-five men and 17 women responded to the survey. Overall, sexual health and wellbeing behaviours reported in this study are higher than those found in the five comparative studies. However, it is not clear whether this finding is an accurate reflection of the current sexual and reproductive health status of the sample population or whether participation bias has overestimated the rate of behaviours in question. In conclusion, the results from this study provide sufficient motive to continue on researching a possible shift in patterns of adult sexual health and behaviour over the last two decades in New Zealand.

While sexual behavior is both a biological imperative and fundamental aspect of close relationships, engaging in it can lead to the development of negative health consequences. Three studies were conducted to investigate the relationship between social motivations, perceived susceptibility to infection and disease, disgust sensitivity, and various measures about condom use. Study 1 (N = 198) was utilized as an exploratory study to get a preliminary look at which motivations significantly predicted condom use behaviors and intentions. Based on the results of Study 1, for Study 2 (N = 328), affiliation, mate seeking, mate retention, and kin care motives were predicted to have the most robust effect on increased condom use and intentions. Results found affiliation to predict positive increases in condom use, perceived subjective norms, and intent, mate seeking to predict positive increases in condom use, and kin care to predict positive increases in intent to use condoms. No effects were found for mate retention. For Study 3 (N = 413), affiliation, mate seeking, and kin care were predicted to have the most robust effect on the condom use measures. Affiliation emerged as the strongest predictor; all three subscales of affiliation significantly predict changes in condom use behaviors, intentions, and perceived behavioral control. Contrary to the original prediction, affiliation independence did not predict the relationship in the expected direction. Dispositional variation in worry about disease did not predict any differences in condom use, which calls into question whether it plays a role in shaping sexual behavior. Limitations of the current studies and future directions for research regarding motivations on sexual behavior are considered.

▼ Despite a long history of study showing that male courtship signals influence female mate choice in many species, we lack a good understanding of how females choose. What are the mechanisms of mate choice, and how do these mechanisms shape the evolution of courtship signals and traits? In this thesis, I use the peacock’s iridescent eyespots to link signal perception with female mate choice decisions and the behaviours males use during courtship. I begin by investigating how a peacock’s eyespot colours influence his mating success, using models of avian colour vision and measurements of eyespot plumage colours taken at light angles that mimic the way the feathers are displayed during courtship. My results suggest that a substantial portion of the variation in peacock mating success can be explained by these plumage colours, demonstrating that signal function is best understood by considering the context in which signals are presented. Next, I examine how females choose to visit different males for courtship. I show that a female’s familiarity with a male as a result of previous courtship encounters affects how she responds to his signals, including his eyespot colours. Lastly, I examine the visual effects of the peacock’s iridescent eyespot colours under different light conditions, and show that typical male courtship behaviours might enhance the eyespots in a way that influences female choice. I also find evidence that light conditions and female sensory biology together may have shaped the evolution of the eyespot colours in two species of peafowl. Overall, the results of this thesis demonstrate that by understanding how animals perceive colour signals, we can gain a better understanding of the function of behaviour on both sides of the courtship signaling exchange.

▼ Objective : To determine the factors associated with unsafe sexual behaviour among the youth aged 13 to 19 years, in the prevention of HIV/AIDS in Lusaka Urban. Study Design: A cross section and comparative study design was carried out in 22 basic schools in Lusaka Urban among the youth attending grades 7,8 and 9. Setting: The study was carried out in Lusaka Urban, which has the highest HIV/AIDS prevalence rate of 22% in Zambia. Lusaka is the capital city of Zambia and has a population of 1, 084,703 with the youth below 19 years of more than 50%of the population The city of Lusaka is a trading centre for goods from the East and Southern African which is part of the sub-Sahara region that has the highest HIV/AIDS prevalence in the world.
Subjects: The study focused on the youth who are the future leaders and yet affected by the great HIV/AIDS epidemic. A total sample size of 319 youth (160 males and 159 females) aged 13 to 19 years in Grades 7,8and 9 selected from a line list of 25093 youth by using EPI 6 statistical calculator the study sample was selected. The subject from different schools were proportionately and conveniently selected and involved in the study.
Main outcome measures: In this study unsafe sexual behaviour was used as the main outcome. The youth that were sexually active at the time of conducting the research were assumed to be involved in unsafe sexual behaviour as well as the group of youth that did not use condoms during the last sexual intercourse. Results:
Social demographic factors- More males than females require assistance on safer sex methods and that more males than females were involved in premarital sex (P=<0.001), the youth aged 15 years and above were significantly more involved in premarital sex than the youth below the age of 14 years (P=<0.001)
Education- There was a significant increase on premarital sex as the youth progressed from 7 to grade 9(P=<0.001). Religion- The youths belonging to Catholic church were significantly more involved in premarital sex as compared to the youth from other churches (P=0.058). Residence-The youth residing in Lusaka central Kanyama and Munali constituencies were more involved in premarital sex than the youth from other constituencies of Lusaka urban (P=<0.001).Types of guardian-The youths kept by mothers only were found to be significantly more involved in premarital sex than the youth kept by both parents (P=<0.001). From the focus group discussion it was found that most parents did not discuss HIV/AIDS and safer sex with their children. Financial support- The youth that received adequate financial support were significantly more involved in premarital sex than the youth that did not receive enough financial support (P=0.05). Knowledge factors: Perceived risk- The youth who were at higher risk of contracting HIV AIDS were found to be more involved in premarital sex than the youth who did not know that they were at risk of contracting HIV/AIDS (P=0.005). Knowledge about HIV/AIDS- More condom users than non-users knew that HIV/AIDS could be cured…

▼ Sex is a vital part of oneself. Due to its biological and social functions, sex has a profound impact on an individual’s physical and psychological health. Risky
sexual behavior may have particularly harmful consequences, including contracting HIV/AIDS or other sexually transmitted infections, lowered self-esteem, unwanted pregnancy, and the experience of social stigma. There are moral battles fought over sex education or abstinence only programs, yet what exactly is understood by the word “sex” is often left to the interpretation of the individual. In fact, although evidence suggests that there is a high level of agreement indicating that both penile-vaginal and anal intercourse are considered “having sex,” this consensus does not extend to other behaviors, such as oral sex (Randall & Byers, 2003; Trotter & Alderson, 2007).
Several factors are believed to influence variations in definitions of sex, including perceptions of behavioral appropriateness, the level of commitment in a relationship, and gender. Additionally, many cultures hold different norms and values in relation to appropriate behavior, relationships, and gender roles. Yet, research regarding the impact of ethnocultural influences on perceptions of
sexual behavior has been limited. This thesis explores definitions of sex and the perceived appropriateness of
sexual behaviors in two cultures with contrasting values: Costa Rica and the United States.
Results suggest that although both cultures define penile-vaginal and anal intercourse as sex, Costa Ricans consider behaviors associated with foreplay, oral sex, and phone/cyber sex as ‘having sex’ more frequently than their Euro-American counterparts. For Euro-American participants, oral sex was considered sex only when it occurred within a new relationship, while foreplay and phone/cyber sex were almost never considered ‘having sex’. On the other hand, for Costa Ricans, behaviors associated with phone/cyber sex were perceived as ‘having sex’ only within a new relationship, while all other categories of behavior were defined as sex regardless of context.
Findings also suggest that relational commitments are a stronger contextual barrier in perceptions of appropriate of
sexual behavior among Costa Ricans, when compared to Euro-Americans. In fact, the majority of Euro-American respondents rated all
sexual behaviors as appropriate prior to a formal commitment (marriage or domestic partnership). The only exception to this was among the Euro-American females, who indicated that anal sex was only appropriate within the context of a formal committed relationship. On the other hand, Costa Ricans generally rated the
sexual behaviors as appropriate after a minimum of 3 months dating. For Costa Rican females, phone/cyber sex was only appropriate within the context of a formal commitment and anal sex was almost never considered appropriate.
This thesis demonstrates the importance of considering culture when exploring
sexual behavior. It explains cultural differences in accordance with the…

sexual orientations was evaluated in this thesis. Evolutionary theory has shown that women and men pursue different reproductive strategies and predicts that strategic interference results when women and men are trying to acquire mates. This study compared women who varied in
sexual orientation to assess differences between lesbian, bisexual and heterosexual female scores in sociosexuality. Masculine and feminine personality traits were additionally assessed by the Bem Sex Role Inventory.
Sexual fluidity was assessed via interviews. Results indicated that lesbians and heterosexual women had similar scores in sociosexuality, suggesting little effect of strategic interference on lesbian sociosexuality. Extreme Kinsey scale scores were compared (i.e. completely heterosexual and completely lesbian), lesbians reported being more restricted in sociosexuality than heterosexual women. Bisexual women were statistically significantly more unrestricted compared to lesbian and heterosexual women. Lesbians had the highest self ratings of femininity when compared to heterosexual and bisexual women.

Drinking Motives, Alcohol Use, and Sexual Behavior Among Men
Who Have Sex with Men: A Day-Level Analysis.

▼ Heavy alcohol consumption among gay, bisexual, and
other men who have sex with men (MSM) is an important public health
concern. Binge drinking (≥ 5 alcoholic drinks in one occasion)
before sex may decrease the likelihood of using condoms, the most
widely used method for preventing HIV. Specific reasons that MSM
have for drinking may play important roles in these relationships,
given that certain drinking motives have been associated with
greater alcohol consumption and other alcohol related problems.
Past studies show that some MSM may specifically drink in order to
facilitate sex, and among these men, the relationship between binge
drinking and
sexual risk behavior may be stronger. In the present
study, 98 HIV-negative MSM reported on their drinking motives, as
well as their alcohol use and
sexual behavior over the past 30
days. In linear regression models, no specific types of drinking
motives were significantly associated with the number of drinking
days or binge drinking days. Generalized estimating equation (GEE)
models revealed that binge drinking on a given day was
significantly associated with the odds of reporting any sex that
day (OR = 2.69, p < .001, 95% CI [1.93, 3.76]), but not
condomless anal intercourse (CAI) with a casual partner on the same
day.
Sexual Motives for Drinking (SMDs) moderated the effect of
binge drinking on any
sexual behavior; the odds of any sex
occurring on a binge drinking day were over 9 times higher among
those with high SMDs (+1 SD), (OR = 9.32, p <.001, 95% CI [4.55,
19.06]), compared to those with low SMDs. These findings suggest
that, in this sample, specific types of drinking may not be potent
risk factors for heavy drinking patterns among heavy drinking MSM.
In addition, while binge drinking may increase the likelihood of
any sex occurring on the same day, particularly for individuals
strongly endorsing SMDs, drinking on a given day did not appear to
increase the risk of engaging in CAI in this sample.

▼ This paper looked at the experience of people abusing homemade alcohol with the
intention of understanding
sexual behavior related risk to HIV AIDS. The study was developed
employing an in depth interview as a primary tool and ten participants were purposively selected
to be interviewed. The study was developed in terms of qualitative inquiry with a descriptive
purpose. Thematic categorization and content analysis is used for analyzing data. The key
findings of this research point out that
sexual risk taking, marked in different forms, is a general
behavior pattern among participants. Participants also share common factors that predisposed
them to both alcohol abuse and
sexual risk taking behaviors in that they mentioned cognitive,
affective, behavioral, socio cultural and situational factors. Commonalities regarding the
conditions in which safe sex and unprotected sex occur were also observed. Hence they
witnessed similar notions about the nature of
sexual safety and risk. These findings suggest that
interventions in the personal and socio cultural environment with the participation of families,
women, religious institutions and service delivery system are indispensable for successful
prevention outcomes. Interventions should also be aimed at empowering and enabling
individuals and communities towards risk consciousness, risk prevention and promotion of
healthy life style.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study examines the value that body theology can add to an inclusive understanding of sexuality in adolescence. Sexuality was understood differently throughout different periods in time, but even today there is still no real clarity on what is meant by the term sexuality. Sexuality is a difficult term to define and its meaning plays an important role in the way people treat each other. Throughout the different periods the church has largely been either silent about sexuality or considered it a sin. As a result the church would not necessarily be seen as a good resource for advice on
sexual matters. Adolescents go through a dramatic period of developing on a physical, cognitive and moral level, which all occur simultaneously, but
sexual development is the most prominent.
Sexual development prepares adolescents on a physical level to reproduce and to enter into
sexual relationships, but cognitive and moral development also takes place; these two processes are supportive for the adolescent to understand and process the
sexual development. These developing processes, together with the context in which an adolescent is growing up, has an impact on the type of moral value system compiled by adolescents, which determines how they behave. As already mentioned, the church is not necessarily involved in these discussions, and therefore this study challenges the churches to become involved again by making use of body theology. The research question can be formulated as follows: What contribution can body theology make to promote an inclusive understanding of sexuality during adolescence? To answer the research question, the first objective is discussed in chapter 2, namely to give a historical overview to obtain an understanding of sexuality and see how the understanding of sexuality changed over the different periods, but also to see that there were certain times when the understanding of sexuality was the same. The second objective is discussed in chapter 3, where the focus is on a historical overview of the understanding of the body. This historical overview is discussed to understand that the body often stood in an ambiguous position and dualisms formed part of the understanding of the body, but it also affects a deeper understanding of life. In chapter 4, the third objective is discussed by examining the centrality of
sexual development during adolescence to understand the important role that
sexual development plays in the adolescent's life, but also to realise that it affects other aspects of life. The fourth objective is discussed in chapter 5, which contains the discussion of body theology to indicate how it can promote an inclusive understanding of sexuality. This chapter also discusses how body theology developed and the importance of the body in body theology. Chapter 6 includes conclusions and recommendations, such as that youth workers and church leaders need to recognise their own understanding of sexuality and the body, but that body theology can promote an inclusive understanding of…

▼ The main purpose of the study was to investigate the impact of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) workplace awareness programmes on high school teachers, knowledge, attitudes and sexual behaviour. The study assessed the impact of the HIV and AIDS workplace programmes in high schools between the periods of 2004 to 2010 in Lusaka urban. To pursue this very important study, both qualitative and quantitative research approaches were used. Qualitative research was used to gain insight into people’s attitudes, behaviour, value systems or lifestyles. This approach was preferred because the techniques used aimed at obtaining response on what teachers know, think and feel about workplace awareness programmes on HIV and AIDS. In-depth interviews and semi-structured questionnaires were the main research instruments. The target population included all the High School teachers in Lusaka Urban. The study used stratified random sampling to select teachers. It was restricted to 100 high school teachers both male and female. Eighty (80) respondents administered self-administered questionnaires. Purposive sampling method was used to select 20 participants to be interviewed. Findings of this study revealed that basic knowledge on HIV and AIDS on how it can be transmitted and prevented were universal to all high school teachers. Although most high school teachers had basic knowledge on HIV and AIDS, they did not have enough knowledge on other matters concerning HIV and AIDS such as Mother to Child transmission, condom use, VCT and treatment. Some myths that surround the pandemic manifested in their attitude and behaviour when measures were put forward in trying to curb the pandemic.Although much documentation has been put in place at the Ministry of Education concerning HIV and AIDS workplace awareness programmes implementation in high schools, the situation in high schools was different. This was because some teachers in some high schools did not have much information on workplace awareness programmes an indication that not much was done at high school level.

▼ University and government authorities in Zimbabwe,
and indeed in many African countries, have tended to downplay the
presence of HIV and AIDS on university campuses. The general belief
seems to be that university students’ high levels of schooling
somehow protect them from HIV infection, even though existing
evidence suggests otherwise. Consequently, very little is known
about university students’ specific vulnerabilities to HIV
infection. The few interventions that are being implemented in
university campuses are often based on generic models of ‘youth
sexual behaviour’ that fail to take into account the many ways that
university students’ experiences are different from those of other
young people. Through the use of ethnography, the thesis examines
how institutional factors and ‘campus cultures’ shape students
sexual behaviour at the University of Zimbabwe, as well as
students’ expectations from intimate relationships and the meanings
that they attach to sex, sexuality, love and romance. A key point I
make throughout the thesis is that where individuals are located -
both spatially and temporally - is just as important for
understanding youth sexuality and the HIV epidemic as are other
‘risk’ factors, such as socio-cultural beliefs and poverty. The
thesis also explores how ‘HIV risk’ is constituted, understood,
deployed and avoided by university students. I argue here that ‘HIV
risk’ behaviours such as transactional sex, multiple and concurrent
partnerships and the non-use of condoms take on vastly different
meanings when they are practiced by university students and within
the context of a university campus. It is therefore incorrect to
abstract ‘HIV risk’ behaviours from their immediate contexts as
many interventions do.

▼ This study is based mainly on quantitative data collected from 347 school children in grades 8, 9 and 10 from three high schools in Windhoek, Namibia. Three schools were randomly selected which represented different scales of fees - low, medium, high – which reflects the range of financial background of the pupils. The study also used qualitative data collected from seven counsellors and social workers from different government and NGOs in Windhoek. The major objective of the study was to identify the factors associated with early sexual activity by school children. Among 347 children from ages 13 to 18, sixty-four (18.4%) had experienced sexual intercourse and the majority were male. The effect of peer pressure was significant in those sixty four children, who were already sexually active. Findings suggest that parental guidance, support, and supervision were significantly (and adversely) related to the early onset of sexual activity. Chi-square and regression analysis revealed that parental guidance, support and supervision might play a major role in deterring and delaying sexual activity of children. Children who were supported, cared, and guided by their parents had their first sexual experiences at an older age.

▼ Abstract
Adolescence is a period of transition from childhood to adulthood. World Health Organization
(WHO) defines adolescent as person between 10 and 19 years of age.
Adolescents’
sexual behavior threatens the physical, psychological and social health and well
being of this group and takes their life. There fore,
sexual behavior is an essential indicator to
assess the trend of HIV/AIDS among this vulnerable group and to take an action in its prevention
and control. This study had an objective of assessing
sexual behavior of school adolescents and
factors influencing them to practice risky
sexual behavior that exposes them to HIV/AIDS in
four selected high schools in Bale zone, Oromia regional state from October 2003 to May 2004.
A cross sectional descriptive survey was carried out and a multi stage sampling procedure was
employed to select a fair representative sample from the schools. Eight hundred thirty nine
subjects were selected for the study. To collect data, a pre-tested self-administered questionnaire
was used. To complement the findings of the quantitative one Focus Group Discussions were
also conducted in eight groups.
Of the study subjects, 488 (58.2%) were males and 351(41.8%) were females. Among them 258
(30.8%) of school adolescents 186 (72.1%) males and 72 (29.9%) females were sexually active.
Female students had
sexual intercourse earlier than males (15.21+ 1.4 versus 16.11+ 1.94). The
main factors reported for the initiation of
sexual intercourse were personal desire 102 (39.1%),
and peer pressure 60 (23.3%). Of the sexually active students 150 (58.1%) had never used
condom during any
sexual episode.
Among sexually active students 147 (57%) and 101 (39.2%) reported genital discharge and
genital ulcer in the past one year respectively. As regard to their
sexual partner, 123 (47.7%) had
sexual encounter with multiple partners. The mean number of partners was 1.5.Sexually active
Students also reported that they had
sexual commencement with causal partner, a partner with
multiple
sexual partners and commercial sex worker (43.7%, 38.9% and 20.5% respectively)..
Among sexually active students 25.6% (40.3% females and 19.9% males) received gift or money
in return to sex in the past one year. Pertaining to substance use among sexually active students
13.6% had used alcohol and 12.4% of them had used “khat”. Of those students who had
experienced sex 15.9% had encountered
sexual violence (40.3% females and 6.5% males
respectively). Eight hundred twenty two (98%) of students are aware of HIV/AIDS and 44.8% of
them know more than two mode of HIV transmission and 48% are knowledgeable for more than
one preventive methods. In addition to the students’ moderate knowledge to mode of HIV
transmission and its preventive methods, 30.9% and 31.8% had risk behavior exposing them to
HIV respectively. Among sexually active students 58.1% perceived that they have no or low
chance of infection with HIV
It was concluded that school adolescents have risk taking behavior like beginning
sexual
intercourse earlier, practicing…

▼ Teenage pregnancy is a global problem especially in developing countries. Teenage pregnancy is associated with several social issues: poverty, low education levels, and the lack of awareness about sex and pregnancy prevention. Zambia is not an exception; about three in ten young women aged 15-19 have begun childbearing, that is, they have given birth already or are currently pregnant with their first child. This study investigates factors associated with teenage pregnancy in Zambia using data from the 2007 Zambia Demographic and Health Survey. It is intended to accomplish a research objective which is; to investigate how socio-demographic and socio-economic factors can influence teenage pregnancy in Zambia. After weighing the data set, only 1574 women were valid cases (after selecting cases of age group 15-19.) In this study, data analysis was done using the 2007 ZDHS processed data. The study used Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) 16.0 to generate frequencies, cross tabulations and binary logistic regression. The present study findings show that 28.5 percent of the teenagers had ever been pregnant and 71.5 percent had never been pregnant and have clearly demonstrated that the major factors that influence teenage pregnancy in Zambia were socio-demographic factors. Socio-economic factors are important determinants of teenage pregnancy but they were not statistically significant. From the findings of this study, the following are the recommendations; there is need for policy makers, community leaders and school curriculum to act towards raising age at marriage to after 19 years and make the methods of contraception accessible to teenagers. Qualitative techniques like focus groups discussions could be helpful in reflecting on the root cause of the problem.

▼ The home based care programme has been set up throughout the country. This was one of the responses to the ever-increasing prevalence rate of the Human Immune Deficiency Virus (HIV). While indeed many studies have documented the devastating effect of HIV and Acquired Immune Deficiency Virus (AIDS) on the Zambian community and families with the consequence of adolescents having to start heading households thus becoming caregivers themselves, no study yet had examined the impact of the home based care programme on adolescent sexual behaviours.Recognizing the high HIV prevalence rate of 16.0% in Zambia among the age group 15-49 years, which includes the highly sexual active adolescents, the current study was conducted to evaluate the role that HIV/AIDS home based care plays in promoting positive sexual behaviours among adolescents.The study was a cross sectional one. It was conducted in Kabwe urban among adolescents, males and females aged from 13 to 23 years. One hundred and three adolescents drawn from 2,496 households having an AIDS patient and being visited by home based care providers were compared with an equivalent number of 103 adolescents living in homes not being visited by home based care providers. These adolescents were drawn from 11 residential areas of Kabwe urban. The adolescents answered questions based on two structured questionnaires. The questionnaires were meant to examine adolescents' attitudes, beliefs and sexual behaviours vis-a-vis HIV/AIDS. Five home based care teams (providers) were also interviewed on their activities with AIDS patients and their families.Data collected was analysed by use of Epi info, a public health statistical package. Results showed that the impact of the home based care programme in promoting positive attitudes and sexual behaviours vis-a-vis HIV/AIDS was not significant. Reasons for this were that home based care teams involved family members particularly adolescents more in caring for their AIDS patients than in family counseling.This was despite the fact that family counselling is an essential component for promoting positive sexual behaviours and attitudes for all family members.The study established that family counselling was not conducted in depth. It only covered one topic of what HIV/AIDS was all about and its primary mode of transmission namely through sexual intercourse. Other modes of transmission such as contaminated blood or sharp instruments were never discussed. The study also established that important topics like HIV risk behaviours, HIV preventive measures and living with HIV/AIDS were not covered.
The study recommended among other things: that home based care teams should devote more time to family counselling and that family counseling ought to be more detailed covering topics such as modes of HIV transmission, HIV risk behaviours and HIV preventive measures. Further home based care teams ought to increase the number of their home care providers so that they could spend more time with each family. Finally the study recommended that home based care…

▼ This study was carried out to investigate the HIV and AIDS-related knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and sexual behaviors of hearing impaired students at Magwero School for the deaf in eastern province. The level of HIV prevalence in Zambia is at 16 percent for the youth and the young people are being disproportionately affected. The study was targeting the hearing impaired adolescents, knowledge about STDs and HIV transmission and prevention. Another concern was about the condom use and how HIV and AIDS- related
attitudes and beliefs could be influencing the sexual behaviors of the deaf teenagers.
Relevant local, regional and international HIV and AIDS literature was reviewed. Data
for the study was collected through both quantitative and qualitative approaches. A
detailed questionnaire was administered to 75 teenage students selected from Magwero
School for the deaf. Three Focus Group Discussions (FGD) were also conducted to gain deeper insights into issues not sufficiently covered by the questionnaire. Data was captured in Statistical Package for the social sciences (SPSS) computer programme and frequencies and cross tabulation done for analysis. The study reveals that the majority of the deaf pupils at Magwero School for the deaf, in
secondary school, are kept by their own parents some of them single while others are kept by their guardians who ranged from uncles, aunties and grandparents. The study alsorevealed that most of the respondents where in boarding while others are day scholars.The awareness about HIV and AIDS was almost universal with almost 100% of the
respondents having the knowledge on how AIDS is transmitted from one person to
another and how they can protect themselves from infection. On STDs, the male
participants had comparatively better knowledge on the names and symptoms of various STDs. The majority of the respondents believed the use of condoms reduces sexual pleasure while others stated that prolonged use of condoms has side effects.This study further revealed that anti-AIDS club at Magwero School for the deaf has played a major role in disseminating HIV and AIDS information. Also it was discovered that the impact of the country's interactive media such as television, radio and newspapers on HIV and AIDS information has not benefited the deaf pupils compared to their hearing counterparts. The other sources of information revealed in the study are the
interpersonal communications about AIDS which was highly common among the
respondents.In terms of access, the study indicates that both male and female respondents have equal access to HIV and AIDS in general, except in isolated incidences such as access to information about STDs and condom use, males had more information. Most respondents did not see their parents as reliable sources of HIV and AIDS information mostly because they saw their parents as too strict and authoritative. Also the traditional beliefs make the discussion with parents of any issue related to sex a taboo in almost all Zambian societies difficult. The…

▼ Women navigate many social changes when they become mothers, often including
considerable changes to intimate and sexual relationships. While maternal health care attends
to various physical and emotional changes for women, it has emerged that many women
experience dissatisfaction in their intimate relationships after birth. A literature review
revealed that while many studies had investigated the sexual experiences of women
postpartum, none had looked at the effect of dominant discourses within Western popular
culture. This research aimed to explore how women make sense of changes to their intimate
relationships following childbirth. Norms and assumptions about the effects of childbirth on
women’s bodies and the implications of change to intimate relationships were examined. Six
women between the ages of 25-45 who had given birth to a child in the last 10 years were
interviewed in a conversational style about their experiences. A feminist post-structuralist
discourse analysis was applied, attending to the dominant discourses and gendered power
relations that enabled and limited positions for women. The analysis showed that normative
discourse shaped not only how women experienced their bodies and intimate relationships,
but every aspect of their lives including pregnancy, labour, mothering, unpaid and paid work.
Furthermore, women were positioned through discourse and a gender binary as responsible
for the household and childcare, as well as responsible for regulating and managing the
intimate relationship. Ultimately the overriding experience of women in this research was that
body changes and changes in the sexual relationship (overwhelmingly one of dissatisfaction)
postpartum resulted in feelings of responsibility and guilt on the women’s behalf for failing
the expectations of femininity and the obligations of neoliberalism. Instances of resistance
and challenge to the dominant discourses were expressed, as were alternative discourses. This
research provides an understanding of the effects of dominant discourses and the power
relations implicit in them on women’s lived realities. This piece of research provides
knowledge around contextual factors impacting on postpartum sexual health and postpartum
body image. It may also provide the platform from which both professionals and women can
discuss female bodies, including genitalia, and female sexuality in less 'troublesome' ways.

▼ Introduction
According to the WHO, the term adolescence is defined as a period of life between 10-19
years. It is a unique period of age characterized by significant physical, cognitive, emotional
and social changes.
Parents-adolescent’s influence is vital for the outright growth and development in all aspects
including sexual and reproductive health of adolescence. However, parents-adolescence
communication on sexual issues, supervision and monitoring and provision of basic needs
are sometimes lacked. This behavior most often results in a larger proportion of adolescents
engaging in unhealthy or risky sexual behavior. Thus, the purpose of this study was to assess
the influence of parents in adolescent sexual behavior.
Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted among 400 adolescents aged 10-19 years in the
Bantama metropolis. A structured questionnaire was used to assess socio-demographics of
respondents, sources of information regarding reproductive health, parental roles,
adolescent’s knowledge on sexual and reproductive health and sexual behavior. Simple
random sample was employed to select participants. Data in the questionnaires was coded
and entered using MS Excel Version 2016 for windows and then exported to Stata Version
14.0 for analysis. The mean, standard deviation, percentages and cross tabulations were used
for the descriptive analysis.
Results
A total of 400 adolescence aged 10-19 participated in the study. There was high knowledge
on condom use 269 (67.25%) and adolescents main source of information on sexual and
reproductive health were from peers, 105 (26.25%).
Academics issues are the most issues discussed with parents by adolescents, (52.50%) whilst
sexual and reproductive health issues are the least issues discussed with parents, (3.75%).
The study found that, more than half 247 (61.75%) had never had sex before, out of the
respondents who have had sex, majority 81 (52.94%) had had sex for the last six months and
condom was the most common 50 (76.54%) . Most 62 (76.54%) had had sex with only one
person whiles 8 (9.88%) had had sex with three or more persons.
Conclusion
Poor parental relationship with their children in matters related to sexual and reproductive
health as they enter adolescent were high in this study. Adolescence knowledge on
emergency contraceptives, birth control pills were low compared to knowledge on condom
use, abortion services and STIs including HIV/AIDS.
Adoption of behavioral change strategies such as family gathering, real lifestyle experience
story-telling that would enable them have cordial relationships with their adolescent children
Health facilities should intensify their education on long lasting family planning services
and emergency contraceptive pills for adolescents. Comprehensive health education about
sexual and reproductive health should be infused into the school curriculum to enable
adolescents have adequate knowledge on sexual issues.

▼ Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health), this study assesses the impact of
sexual activity on peer acceptance and, subsequently, on educational attainment. This study, in accordance with the
sexual double standard, hypothesizes that sexually active adolescent males will be less likely than sexually active adolescent females to experience negative reactions from peers as a result of being sexually active. As peer acceptance has been positively associated with educational attainment, this study predicts that when peer acceptance declines for females engaged in
sexual activities, their educational attainment will also decline, and that males will experience positive effects of
sexual activity on peer acceptance and educational attainment. The findings from this study reveal a negative effect of
sexual activity on female educational attainment, mediated by peer acceptance, and a similarly negative effect of
sexual activity on educational attainment for males. Supplemental analyses examine the effects of higher numbers of
sexual partners and age at first
sexual encounter.

▼ Cognitive distractions related to sexual arousal in males have been studied over the years, but not only until recently has the female sex been involved in studies revolving around the topic of sexuality. There is research related to men that state two main cognitive distractions: body image and sexual performance. Barlow (1985) conducted a study which showed that cognitive distractions lowered sexual arousal in males. Unfortunately, his study was not conducted on females. The purpose of this study is to understand how cognitive distractions can affect female sexual arousal. I propose that by looking into how these cognitive distractions affect sexual arousal in women, it could help to expand the knowledge and mental health services for women. This literature review will examine current literature to investigate female cognitive distractions in order to answer the question: If a woman has negative cognitive distractions, will it affect sexual arousal?

▼ Sexual selection drives the evolution of exaggerated male ornaments (traits showing little function outside social interactions) in many animal species. Female ornamentation is now acknowledged also to be common but is generally less well understood. One example is the recently documented red female throat coloration in some threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) populations. Although female sticklebacks often exhibit a preference for red male throat coloration, the possibility of
sexual selection on females has been little studied. Moreover, in those species in which female ornaments have been examined, research has often been limited to a single trait. Ornamented female threespine sticklebacks provide an excellent opportunity to examine male preference on multiple traits and the correlations between those traits. Using a combination of sequential and simultaneous mate choice trials, male-mating preferences for female throat color (as well as other traits) is examined using wild-captured male and female threespine sticklebacks from the Little Campbell River, British Columbia. In sequential and simultaneous choice tests, males do not exhibit a preference for female throat and pelvic spine color. Surprisingly, males also lack a preference for female standard length. Using mixed modeling, males were tested for differences in the slopes of their preferences for female traits and their mean responsiveness. Results showed that males did not differ in their preference slopes but differed significantly in their mean responsiveness to females. Additionally, when presented with a conspecific male in sequential choice tests, males responded differently than to females and male response decreased as conspecific male body size and throat coloration increased, showing that males can discriminate conspecific traits in the experimental setting. Mean response rates of experimental males toward females had significant, positive correlations with individual throat and pelvic spine coloration, as well as overall male condition. Male condition, however, lacks any correlation with throat or spine coloration. The results presented here are the first to explicitly address male preference for female throat color as well as documenting the relationship between male pelvic spine color and responsiveness. Â

▼ The subjective experience of dementia for lesbian, gay and bisexual individuals is largely absent from the extant literature. This study aimed to explore what it means to experience dementia in this context given the documented psychosocial influences facing this population. A second aim was to develop understanding of these experiences within dyadic relationships. Ten semi-structured interviews were conducted with lesbian, gay and bisexual individuals with dementia and people with whom they had a significant relationship. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis of transcripts identified three superordinate themes reflecting characteristics of participants’ experience: Duality in managing dementia; Giving yourself away vs. holding onto yourself; and Relationships as sheltered harbours. Ten subthemes indicate processes these individuals adopt to adjust and make sense of their experience of dementia. This included decisions around concealment, ensuring safety and the promotion of personhood and couplehood. In line with findings for heterosexual couples, partners had an important role in maintaining the identity of the person with dementia. Results suggest additional and distinct challenges, including experienced and perceived discrimination and heterosexism. In response to these conditions, interviewees worked to resist a ‘double stigma’ of dementia and sexuality. Findings indicated areas of improvement for dementia services, including training in inclusive practice.

▼ Chemoreception is one of the dominant sensory modalities for many species of salamanders (reviewed in Chapter 2). At least seven of the ten currently recognized salamander families are known to respond to some sort of chemical cue. These responses are as varied as delaying hatching, seeking refuge, or initiating aggressive behaviors. However, a major limitation to our understanding of many salamander chemoreception systems is that the specific chemical eliciting these responses has not
been isolated. However, in one family of salamanders, the Plethodontidae, several pheromones have been isolated. Plethodontid salamander males deliver protein pheromones to females during stereotyped courtship interactions. In these salamanders, a male will deliver pheromones if the female is not immediately receptive to mating. Female receptivity to a particular male may profoundly affect male mating success, and thus acts as an agent of
sexual selection and
sexual isolation.
In the majority of plethodontid species, a male delivers pheromones, produced in a specialized mental gland, to a female’s dorsal skin (transdermal delivery). A deviation from this ancestral mode of delivery occurred in one clade that evolved a
delivery method that directly stimulates the female's accessory olfactory system (olfactory delivery). In Chapter 3, I report that female Plethodon shermani (a species with olfactory delivery) do not respond behaviorally to pheromone delivery via the ancestral mode (transdermal delivery). In Chapter 4, I addressed the question of whether the pheromone composition is different in males of species that use transdermal verses
olfactory delivery. Evolutionary shifts in pheromone composition were determined by expressed sequence tag (EST) analysis of pheromone-gland RNA from three distantly related plethodontid species. Two of the species use the transdermal delivery mode,
Desmognathus ocoee and Eurycea guttolineata, and have some proteins in common, including two previously identified pheromone components, Plethodontid Modulating Factor and Sodefrin Precursor-like Factor. However, these species also express other
unique components that may act as pheromones by changing female physiology. Another pheromone protein, Plethodontid Receptivity Factor (PRF), is the dominant RNA transcript in my focal species with olfactory delivery, P. shermani. This protein is related to four-helix bundle cytokines and so it may stimulate cytokine receptors. In Chapter 5, isolation of a common cytokine receptor from P. shermani females reveals that this receptor is expressed in the female olfactory system and may interact with
PRF. However, since multiple proteins are delivered during courtship, I also investigated the classical families of receptors in vertebrate olfactory organs.
Chemical cues are generally detected by two olfactory sensory organs, the main olfactory and accessory olfactory (vomeronasal) epithelia. I used polymerase chain reaction to survey for molecular components of the signaling cascade used to mediate neuronal…

▼ Much of the research on
sexual behavior in adolescence has focused on factors that predict whether adolescents engage in
sexual behavior or use contraception, with the goal of preventing STIs and pregnancy. However,
sexual behavior may be associated with a broader range of health outcomes, and relatively little is known about how
sexual behavior impacts mental health. In this dissertation, I extend the literature on associations between
sexual behavior and mental health in late adolescence in three papers. In Paper 1 I present a conceptual model of how
sexual behavior may be associated with physical, mental and social health in adolescence, and review the relevant literature in these areas. This paper emphasizes how
sexual behavior may be associated with different outcomes due to individual and relationship factors, and how individuals’ perceptions of their behavior may affect how
sexual behavior is associated with later mental and social health. In Paper 2 I examine how college students’ daily affect may vary depending upon whether they had sex on that day and by situational factors of their
sexual experience, using a subsample of students from the University Life Study (ULS) who engaged in vaginal sex at least once during 14 days of daily data collection during their first six semesters in college (N=364; 57.4% female; 29.1% Hispanic/Latino [HL], 25.0% non-HL European American, 17.3% non-HL Asian American, 17.0% non-HL African American, 11.5% non-HL multiracial). Students had more positive affect and less negative affect on days they were sexually active compared to days they were not. In addition, students reported more negative affect on days they had sex with a non-dating, compared to dating partner. They also had more positive affect on days they perceived more positive consequences of sex, and more negative affect on days they perceived more negative consequences of sex. In Paper 3, I examine whether college students’ psychological distress changed after they engaged in first intercourse, whether these changes were temporary or persisted in the long-term, and how such changes differed depending on situational factors of the
sexual experience. I use data from a subsample of participants in the ULS who reported first intercourse between their second and sixth semester of college (N=119; 47.1% female; 22.7% Hispanic-Latino [HL], 30.3% non-HL European American, 13.5% non-HL Asian American, 17.6% non-HL African American and 5.9% non-HL multiracial). Students reported less psychological distress after they engaged in first intercourse compared to their pre-sex trajectories, and this effect was not temporary but persisted for several semesters after first intercourse. Participants who had sex with a non-dating partner experienced a greater increase in distress over time, but experienced a greater decrease in distress after first intercourse compared to those who had sex with a dating partner. In addition, students who perceived more positive consequences experienced a smaller decrease in distress…

▼ Background: Among different issues that have public thoughts worldwide, risk behaviors related to
sexual practices in young people has occupied much of the attention. With the many factors that have implications for young people reproductive health outcomes, parenting process and peer relationship assessed and discussed more frequently. Young people’s reproductive health problem in Ethiopia are multifaceted and interrelated; for these problems, in addition to traditional practice and poor living arrangement, the relationship of young people with their families and with their peers plays a role in the lives including their
sexual behavior. Objective: The main objective of this study was to determine the magnitude of risky
sexual behavior, and to assess the influence of peers and parents on
sexual risk behavior among nursing college students in Negelle Town. Methods: A cross-sectional study supplemented with a qualitative study was conducted among 457 randomly selected students in two nursing schools in Negelle town of Oromia regional state in Ethiopia from January to June 2010. A pre-tested structured anonymous questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data, which was entered and cleaned using Epi info version 3.5.1 and analyzed using SPSS version 15.00 statistical package. Odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was calculated to measure the strength and the significance of association between dependent and independent variables, while logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent predictors of the outcome variable. Qualitative information was obtained from purposefully selected four focus group discussions. The qualitative data were transcribed and translated in to English, and then manipulated manually by grouping ideas in to similar thematic sets. Results: Among 457 respondents, 56.2% (71.2% of males and 28.7% of females) reported having premarital
sexual intercourse, at the mean age of 17.4 and 17.5 years for males and females, respectively. Most (61%) of the respondents reported having multiple
sexual partners in their life time, males were more likely to have multiple
sexual partner than female respondents (OR= 2.06; 95% CI= 1.18- 3.56). In multivariate analysis, having female friends who had sex, and having peer groups who drink alcohol were associated with
sexual activity for both male and female respondents (OR= 5.67; 95%CI= 1.60-2.07, OR= 3.7; 95%CI= 1.26- 11.3) respectively. Those, who reported that their parents knew every activity and interest of their peer groups and who perceived having high connectedness were less likely to have premarital sex and multiple
sexual partners, (OR= 0.68; 95%CI= 0.43-0.97, OR= 0.39; 95%CI= 0.17-0.89) respectively.
Conclusions: Risky
sexual behavior was prevalent, and mostly unprotected, and this predisposes young people to develop
sexual and reproductive health problems. Parents and peers play a role in shaping the behavior of young people. Therefore, the dimension of good parental process and positive peer factors has to be strengthened. Parents must…

design. Questionnaire was used to gather data from a random sample of 300 (150 male and 150
female) students of grade 9th through 12th in the selected five private high schools of Bole subcity.
Descriptive statistics, Chi-square, t-test, ANOVA and correlations were used to analyze
quantitative data. Descriptive statistics revealed that entertainment, communication with people
far away and making companionship (34.3%, 20% & 16%) were the major reasons to school
adolescents’ social media usage respectively. Weak positive correlation was found between
social media usage and
sexual behavior [r (298) = .222, P < .05]. However,
sexual behavior
was moderately correlated with the frequency use of social media sites used [r (298) = .694, P=
<0.05]. Descriptive statistics found that the majority (61.3%) of the respondents had high risk
perception while 30.7% of the respondents had low risk perception to social media usage. When
looking in to the conclusion, adolescents’
sexual behavior in relation to social media usage by
default had weak positive correlation. However, their
sexual behavior was moderately
correlated with the frequency use of social media sites. Hence, among the practical
recommendations forwarded, School administrators and teachers should plan and advise school
students to use social media sites for educational issues than entertainment, or for
companionship. Also, school students should be aware that using social media sites frequently
boost to enter
sexual behavior.

▼ This thesis on online communities for sex buyers seeks to understand questions such as “what can we learn from online communities for sex buyers?” We explore these issues with the framework of Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis and through the use of qualitative research of both the review boards at Punternet and the online community forums at UKPunting, located in England, where online communities for sex buyers originated. By reading the conversations of sex buyers, we can gather that what the men who pay for sex and write in these online communities are seeking, apart from
sexual access to women’s bodies, is a commodified version of women that can be controlled in a manner that the evermore egalitarian roles of men and women in society does not allow outside of the sex industry. The online features and peculiarities of the communities work in tandem with other aspects of the sex industry (such as the agencies women work for) to optimize the sex buyers’ experience and their ‘male sex right’. Although highly informative, further research is needed, particularly at a transnational level, in order to better understand the reasoning and motivations of sex buyers worldwide under a patriarchal system.
