Abstract
Background
Sexual violence can lead to risky sexual behaviors that increase the likelihood of adverse outcomes. Collecting information on these behaviors is crucial to support survivors before adulthood.
Objective
This study aimed to assess the need for attention to risky sexual behaviors among adolescents at a specialized violence care clinic in Mexico City.
Participants and setting
173 medical records from adolescents aged 14 to 18 (average age: 15.15 years) who sought care at a tertiary-level hospital were analyzed, with 52.02% females and 47.98% males.
Methods
A cross-sectional study reviewed records from 2018 to 2023. Three judges independently coded information on risky sexual behaviors, including unprotected sex, sexualized substance use, and relationships with older partners.
Results
All participants reported at least one risky sexual behavior, with unprotected sex being the most common (68.78% of records). The least reported was sex with casual partners, noted in only two records.
Conclusion
The high prevalence (88%) of risky sexual behaviors among violence survivors highlights the necessity for targeted prevention and intervention programs, as these behaviors are associated with adverse outcomes.
