No full textObjective: To describe trends in self-reported sexual and reproductive health behaviours among New Zealand secondary school students.
Methods: Nationally representative health and wellbeing surveys conducted in 2001 (n=9,699), 2007 (n=9,107) and 2012 (n=8,500) were analysed. Logistic regressions were used to explore variations in sexual health outcomes between 2001 and 2012.
Results: 'Ever had sex' (-6.9%, p
Conclusions: Students in 2012 were more likely to delay sexual activity, but were less likely to use condoms and contraception consistently, compared to students in 2001. Declining contraceptive use over an 11-year period suggests that current strategies are inadequate, particularly for MÄori, Pacific and socioeconomically deprived students. Appropriate and accessible sexual and reproductive health services are urgently required
