Abstract

This study investigated factors affecting the preventive intention on premarital sexual behaviours among junior high school students in lowernorthern region of Thailand. A cross-sessional study was conducted. Stepwise regression model was used to run multiple linear regression. Self-awareness was the best predictor of the preventive intention on premarital sexual behaviours for having the biggest coefficient (Beta coefficient equal to 0.696, t = 19.183, P = 0.001). Self-awareness had positive and significant effect on preventive intention on premarital sexual behaviour. High education levels of parents had more positive and significant effects on the preventive intention on premarital sexual behaviour compared to low levels of education. Consulting parents had more positive and significant effect on premarital sexual behaviours compared to not consulting any person. Thai sexual education needs to be extended to parents of students to induce the preventive intention on premarital sexual behaviours among junior high school students.
