Sexual health education has been proven effective in improving adolescent sexual reproductive health outcomes. System-involved youth, including those in child welfare or juvenile justice systems, experience disproportionately poor outcomes as compared to youth in the general population, especially concerning STIs and early or unplanned pregnancies. Using logistic regression, this cross-sectional study examined the odds of condom use in a sample (n = 318; 61.3% males; 79.9% African American) of system-involved youth with multiple high-risk sexual behaviors. Specifically, it examined the impact of sexual health education, attitudes and beliefs about condoms, and the moderating effect of gender. The logistic regression models showed that youth were more likely to use a condom when exposed to comprehensive sexual health education (p < .05). Beliefs about condom effectiveness increased the odds of condom use in the second model (p < .01). Gender was not found to have a moderating effect. This study examined whether receiving comprehensive sexual health education and adolescent attitudes and beliefs towards condoms were associated with non-condom use using logistic regression in a sample of system-involved youth. Results suggest that comprehensive sexual health education could improve condom use in this vulnerable population.

性健康教育已被证明在改善青少年性生殖健康结果方面是有效的。与一般人群中的青年相比，参与系统的青年，包括儿童福利或少年司法系统中的青年，经历了不成比例的糟糕结果，尤其是在性传播感染和早孕或计划外怀孕方面。使用逻辑回归，这项横断面研究检查了一个样本（n = 318；61.3% 男性；79.9% 非裔美国人）中的安全套使用几率，该样本是具有多种高风险性行为的系统相关青年。具体来说，它检查了性健康教育的影响、对安全套的态度和信念，以及性别的调节作用。逻辑回归模型显示，青少年在接受全面的性健康教育时更有可能使用安全套（p < .05）。对安全套有效性的信念增加了在第二种模型中使用安全套的几率（p < .01）。没有发现性别有调节作用。本研究使用逻辑回归检验了接受全面性健康教育以及青少年对安全套的态度和信念是否与不使用安全套有关。结果表明，全面的性健康教育可以改善这一弱势群体的安全套使用情况。本研究使用逻辑回归检验了接受全面性健康教育以及青少年对安全套的态度和信念是否与不使用安全套有关。结果表明，全面的性健康教育可以改善这一弱势群体的安全套使用情况。本研究使用逻辑回归检验了接受全面性健康教育以及青少年对安全套的态度和信念是否与不使用安全套有关。结果表明，全面的性健康教育可以改善这一弱势群体的安全套使用情况。
