| description | Early pregnancy among unmarried youth is a serious public health challenge. Male youth's knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and its association with the risk of their sexual partners' pregnancy in China remains unexplored. This study investigates the KAP among Chinese unmarried male youth aged 15-24 years and identifies its association with partner pregnancy using nationally representative data from Survey of Youth Access to Reproductive Health in China (YARHC) in 2009.
Chi-square tests were applied to explore the prevalence of partner pregnancy by male youth's KAP of SRH and logistic regression were applied to identify the associations of partner pregnancy with knowledge, attitudes and practice among male youth.
Among 2853 sexually experienced male youth, totally 597 unmarried male youth caused 852 partner pregnancies and the prevalence rate was 20.93%. Lacking the knowledge of contraception access (OR: 0.66, 95% CI: 0.44-0.99) was significantly associated with lower risk of causing partner pregnancy. Contraception discussion before (1.49, 1.04-2.11) or after first sexual intercourse (1.46, 1.11-1.93), not using valid contraception (1.29, 1.03-1.64) and male contraception decision-maker (1.79, 1.41-2.28) were significantly associated with higher risk of causing partner pregnancy.
Our results indicated that male youth's knowledge and behaviors of sexual and reproductive health were significantly associated with the risk of causing partner pregnancy, and highlighted the importance and need of sexual and reproductive programs targeting male for the prevention of unintended partner pregnancy in China. |
