Sexual Activity and Risky Sexual Behaviour Amongst Canadian Youth With and at Risk for Bipolar Disorder
Lifetime sexual activity was two-fold greater, and RSB was over fifteen-fold greater, amongst BD and BD-risk youth versus HCs. Understanding which demographic and clinical factors are associated with lifetime sexual activity amongst BD and BD-risk youth may enable us to identify youth more likely to engage in RSB and help us develop treatments and preventative strategies to avoid RSB accordingly.
