Sexual behavior and STI risk perception in young adults in Barcelona

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This cross-sectional, observational study will enroll 18- to 25-year-olds in Barcelona who attend educational institutions or live in the area. Participants will fill a questionnaire covering sociodemographics, sexual behavior, knowledge and beliefs about STIs, perception of sexual risk, condom use, number of partners, and experiences of pressure or coercion. A validated scale will measure risk perception, supplemented by study-specific questions, to explore associations with self-reported STI history. The goal is to describe patterns of behavior and risk perception and to see if lower risk perception aligns with riskier practices and higher STI reporting.
