Summary
Risky sexual behavior is commonly defined as behavior that increases one’s risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections and experiencing unintended pregnancies. They include having sex at an early age, having multiple sexual partners, having sex while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and unprotected sexual behaviors [1]. If risky sexual behavior does not appear to be decreasing at the individual or aggregate level, program managers may want to assess problems related to program design, implementation, and quality. Mobility is the ability and willingness to move or change. People move for many reasons, and factors that drive mobility often stem from unequal distribution of resources, climatic instabil¬ity, conflict and political unrest. Movements have often been conceptualized as being driven by push or pull factors or a combination of the two
