Abstract
A survey of Anglo and Hispanic adolescent males' sources of sexual information and their attitudes and practices was conducted. A comparison of attitudes and behaviors revealed little difference by ethnicity; however, a more detailed analysis of sources of information resulted in some interesting findings. The relationship between completing a sex education class and condom use was statistically significant in a positive direction. In addition, this relationship was much stronger for Hispanic youth. The important implications of this finding are discussed.Keywords: Americas; Attitude--men; Barrier Methods; Behavior; Colorado; Condom; Contraception; Contraceptive Methods; Contraceptive Usage--men; Cultural Background; Demographic Factors; Developed Countries; Education; Ethnic Groups; Family Planning; Family Planning, Behavioral Methods; Health Education; Hispanics--men; Interdisciplinary Studies; Knowledge; North America; Northern America; Population; Population Characteristics; Premarital Sex Behavior--men; Psychological Factors; Rural Population--men; Sex Behavior; Sex Education; Sexual Abstinence; United States; Urban Population--men; Whites--men
