Racial-ethnic disparities in adolescent sexual behaviours: the cross-sectional Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 2009 & #x2013;19

This study examines changes over time in racial-ethnic disparities in sexual risk behaviours among US high school students, finding that trends in adolescent sexual risk behaviours statistically differ by race/ethnicity. Although disparities in sexual risk behaviours may be shrinking for many behaviours, work is still needed to achieve health equity in risks associated with HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infections, and pregnancy.
