Factors influencing sexual behaviors among youths in Myanmar: the results from the Myanmar demographic and health survey 2015–16
According to this study, gender, education level, wealth status, marital status, region, and contraceptive knowledge all have a significant impact on sexual behaviors among Myanmar youths. Early sexual initiation and low contraceptive use are common, especially among young people with low education and socioeconomic status. Targeted, inclusive, and culturally sensitive sexual and reproductive health education and services are urgently needed to address knowledge gaps and promote safer behaviors among Myanmar's youth.
