Masculinity and Condom Use among Mexican Teenagers: The Escuela Nacional Prepartoria No. 1's Case.

Interviewed adolescents and observed sex education classes to investigate condom use and masculinity among Mexican high school students. Adolescents were very concerned about sex education programming because of widespread information about AIDS, fears of pregnancy, and initiation into sexuality. Contraception decision making was highly determined by adolescents' sexual reputation and the expectations of others, and masculinity was a significant factor. (SM)
