Abstract

Sexual health is defined as a state of physical, emotional and social well-being regarding an individual’s sexual behaviour.1 Adolescence is a key period in the development of personal relationships and sexual behaviour. This HBSC Briefing Paper provides an overview of young people in Scotland’s self-reported engagement in sexual activity in relation to social and individual factors. The data comes from 15-year old pupils** who participated in HBSC Scotland national surveys in 2010 and 2014.
