Abstract

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of several potential factors related to sexually risky behaviors in study abroad students. The authors utilized a pattern-centered analysis to identify specific groups that can be targeted for intervention. Participants: The sample consisted of 173 students who studied abroad in a variety of international locations for an average of 4 months.

METHODS: Participants completed questionnaires informed by the Triandis Theory of Interpersonal Behavior that have been predictive of risky sex in traditional traveling environments.

RESULTS: The analyses revealed 3 different pathways for risky sexual behavior: Environmental involvement, historical condom use, and intentions to engage in risky sex.

CONCLUSION: These findings can be used for identification of specific high-risk groups of students who can be targeted for predeparture prevention programs.
