Article Synopsis
- Chinese college students are increasingly sexually active, and their contraceptive use is influenced by socioeconomic factors and lifestyle choices.
- A study of over 17,500 students found that condoms, oral contraceptives, and emergency contraceptives were the most recognized methods among them.
- For males, higher spending, lower alcohol consumption, and greater sexual knowledge positively impacted contraceptive use, while tobacco use had a negative effect; for females, factors like suburban residency, parental education, moderate alcohol consumption, and sexual knowledge had similar positive influences.
