Abstract
In recent years many European studies showed a change in lifestyle and sexual behaviors among young women, like a decreased age of first intercourse, a higher number of sexual partners, a higher consumption of alcohol and a lower use of condom. Aim of this study is to identify the condom negotiation strategies of a representative sample of Italian female university students (IFUS) during sexual intercourse, and evaluate the relation between religiosity, relationship status, alcohol/drugs use and type of negotiation strategy. Nine hundred thirty-seven IFUS, aged 19–26 years, attending the 2nd and 3rd year of humanistic, technical and medical faculties in nine Italian Universities. This is a multicentric study. Two questionnaires were administered to the students: one survey was specifically designed for the study to collect socio-demographic data and sexual and contraceptive habits; the second is the validated Italian version of Condom Influence Strategy Questionnaire (CISQ).
