Abstract: |
Contemporary China is on the leading edge of a sexual
revolution, with tremendous regional and generational differences that
provide unparalleled natural experiments for analysis of the antecedents
and outcomes of sexual behavior. This study provides a baseline from which
to anticipate and track future changes, thus providing opportunity for a
public health benefit as well as scholarly return. Specifically, this
study produces a baseline set of results on sexual behavior and disease
patterns, using a nationally representative probability sample. It is one
of the first omnibus studies of sexual behavior in a developing country.
Topical areas include childhood sexual contact, intimate partner violence,
forced sex, sexual harassment, body image concerns, sexual well-being,
and sexually transmitted diseases and risk behavior. |
