Abstract:

To investigate the association between the school context and the occurrence of multiple partners among adolescents, considering individual variables. Cross-sectional study with multilevel analysis, carried outFebruary to June 2018 with students aged 14 to 19 years. The outcome variable (multiple sexual partners) was collected using the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) questionnaire. School context variables were time at school (regular school vs full/semi-full school) and the Social Vulnerability Index (IVS) of the neighborhood the school is located. Of 2,500 participants, 1,044 were analyzed for being sexually active. Most adolescents (63.89%) had 2 or more partners. Regular school students (minimum of 4 hours a day) were more likely (OR 1.47, CI 1.10-1.97) to have multiple sexual partners compared to thosefull/semi-full school (minimum of 7 hours a day). However, there was no association in relation to the IVS of the school districts (OR 1.18, CI 0.82-1.70). Longer time at school was associated with a lower chance of multiple sexual partners, while studying in schools located in highly vulnerable neighborhoods was not associated with the occurrence of multiple sexual partners among adolescents.
