ABSTRACT:
The aims of this study are to determine the influence of
migrant status on sexual behavior and communication about “safer sex”
and to identify ethnic-specific prevention issues. Data were obtained from
a special administration of the Health Behavior in School-Aged Children
(HBSC) survey in a special sample of Portuguese schools located in lowincome
Lisbon neighborhoods with large proportions of African migrants.
Survey participants included 919 sixth, eighth, and tenth graders (52.3%
female), of whom 19.2% were migrant foreigners from African, Portuguese speaking
countries, including Cape Verde (60.8%), Mozambique (1.6%),
Angola (16.8%), Sao Tomé (8%), and Guinea-Bissau (14.8%). Subsequently,
four focus groups were held with adolescents who had participated
in the survey (n = 45), three focus groups with health and education professionals
(n = 25), and one focus group with parents (n = 6).
Compared with Portuguese adolescents, African migrant teens reported
initial sexual intercourse at earlier ages, less frequent condom use, and less frequent
and less comfortable communications with parents about sexual issues.
Implications for selective prevention of sexually transmitted diseases
(STDs) are discussed and recommendations are made.
