“…Assessments consisted of an interviewer-administered questionnaire with 31 items on socio-demographic, drug use health and service/treatment need characteristics. This questionnaire was developed based on instruments used for similar studies in Canada (Fischer et al, 2010), supplemented with standard Brazilian question items on socio-demographics and sexual risk behaviours (see Berquó & Barbosa, 2008). The draft instrument was pilot-tested (n = 12) in both sites, and revised and adapted for comprehension and cultural suitability.…”

“…4 In 1998, 1,835 women and 1,489 men were interviewed, totaling 3,324 individuals; while in 2005, 2,742 women and 2,298 men were interviewed, totaling 5,040 individuals. The research methodology and the sample design are described by Berquó & Barbosa 3 and Bussab, 4 respectively. Selection of the variables analyzed was based on two criteria so as to constitute indicators related to STI/HIV transmission, and to allow comparisons between 1998 and 2005.…”

Sexual behavior and practices among men and women, Brazil 1998 and 2005ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: To compare basic findings from two studies on sexual behavior and practices among women and men and their associations with sociodemographic characteristics of this population. METHODS:Data analyzed were obtained by a questionnaire applied to a probabilistic sample comprised of 3,423 people in 1998, and 5,040 people in 2005, all aged between 16 and 65 years, and living in urban areas of Brazil. Comparative analyses were performed by sex and year of research, and according to sociodemographic variables, using Pearson's chi-square test. RESULTS:The number of sexual partners in the year that preceded the interview decreased from 29.5% to 23.1% among men. Variability in sexual behavior and practices according to age, level of education, marital status, religion and place of residence, in addition to specifi c characteristics based on sex, was observed. There was also an increase in the proportion of women who began their sexual life in the 16-to-19-year age group and had completed up to elementary school, or lived in Southern Brazil. Moreover, it was observed an increase of sexual activity reported by women in the last year, and a decrease among men over 55 years of age, Protestant/Pentecostal, or separated/widowed. The proportion of men with more than one sexual partner in the last year decreased among those aged between 25 and 44 years or who have completed up to high-school. There was an increase in oral sex practice reported by women who are over 35 years of age or live in Northern/ Northeastern Brazil. CONCLUSIONS:Comparative analysis from 1998 to 2005 suggested a tendency towards differences between women and men decreasing. This probably results from a pattern of change characterized by an increase in the frequency of female behavior investigated and a decrease in the frequency of male behavior.
