Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the sexual behaviors of Lithuanian high school students through an anonymous survey conducted in 2017.
- Approximately 31.3% of the respondents reported having sexual intercourse, with most using contraception; however, only 6% used dual contraception at first intercourse.
- The findings highlight the need for improved sexual education in Lithuania, as many adolescents lack sufficient knowledge to protect themselves against STIs and unintended pregnancies.
