OBJECTIVES: To determine whether the attitudes to sexual and reproductive health of a cohort of university students had changed from 2005 to 2013. METHODS: Questionnaires (1,000) on sexual and reproductive health attitudes were randomly distributed to students at Shanghai Jiaotong University in May 2013. All @entity1 volunteered for the study and their answers were anonymous. The questionnaire contents included personal information and 72 MCQs, which covered four categories: knowledge about @entity458 and @entity2953 ; attitude to @entity146 ; attitudes to pornographic books/movies; desire of the @entity1 for education on @entity458 . The @entity1 had not received @entity458 education since their admission to the university. Their study majors were broadly similar to those @entity1 in the April 2005 survey. The high sensitivity of the content of the questionnaire made it imperative to maintain anonymity and high security of the collected data. RESULTS: The return rate of questionnaires were 98% (request age from 19~21 years). Personal hygiene was much greater in females than in males. The proportion of females and males who held a positive attitude to premarital @entity146 was significantly increased (P < 0.0001). 80% of the @entity1 understood the need to use condoms with strangers; however, still high proportion of @entity1 lacked of this knowledge (P = 0.142). About one third of the @entity1 still did not believe that unmarried pregnancy was acceptable (no significant change from 2005 to 2013). There was significantly improved knowledge about the way in which @entity791 spreads. CONCLUSIONS: College students are more open today compared to the 2003 survey. A higher level of sexual knowledge has been achieved but there scope for further improvement. Sex education should be based on the actual needs of young @entity1 , teaching reforms, and special attention paid to practical teaching.
