Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To understand the current situation and relevant factors on sexual violence in 18-34 year-olds men in Chengdu, in order to provide data for setting up prevention and reduction programs on sexual violence and other related problems.

METHODS: By multi-stage random sampling, young men who were 18-34 years old in Chengdu were interviewed and screened. Questionnaire and multivariate logistic regression models were used to assess risk factors on sexual violence.

RESULTS: The overall prevalence of sexual violence was 17.8% , with factors as child exposure to parent violence/family conflict (P < 0.01), child physical abuse (P < 0.01), alcohol abuse (P < 0.01), anxiety (P < 0.01), disharmony marriage (divorce/widowed/separation) (P < 0.01), marriage status (P < 0.05), depression (P < 0.05) as risk factors of sexual violence.

CONCLUSION: The status on sexual violence among young men in Chengdu should not be overlooked and interventions for high-risk populations should be taken urqently.
