A study on stress, depression and suicidal ideation according to sexual behaviours among Korean adolescents.

CONCLUSIONS: Adolescents with experience of sexual intercourse showed significantly higher stress, depression and suicidal ideation, the latter of which was particularly higher among low-grade female students that had experienced first sexual intercourse at a young age. Suicidal ideation was more common when first sexual intercourse was early. Adolescents with experience of sexual intercourse after drinking showed higher stress, depression and suicidal ideation than those without drinking. PMID: 30419625 [PubMed - in process]
