Despite this, little has been explored about the college students\u2019 knowledge, attitude, and practice toward risky sexual behaviors (RSBs) in the study area. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and the practice of Jimma teacher training college students toward RSBs, Jimma town, southwest Ethiopia, in 2018.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>An institution-based quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted. Data were collected through a pretested, structured, and self-administered questionnaire. A total of 395 respondents were selected using a simple random sampling technique. The collected data were checked manually for completeness and consistency, entered into Epi-data, version 3.1, data entry software, and exported to SPSS, version 20, statistical software for analysis.

The majority 78 (36.6%) of the respondents described radio as their main source of information about RSBs. More than three-quarters, 163 (76.6%) respondents define practicing oral and\/or anal sex as RSBs and 194 (91%) reported sexually transmitted infections including HIV\/AIDS as the main consequence of RSBs. This study also revealed 156 (43.4%) participants had an unfavorable attitude toward RSBs. 60 (16.7%) participants disagree with the idea that condoms prevent HIV\/AIDS and nearly all respondents (340 [94.5%]) agreed homosexuality brings sexual risks. Among those who had sexual experience, 83 (32.4%) had 2 or more sexual partners, more than two-third (176 [68.8%]) had sexual practice after drinking alcohol, and 90 (35.1%) participants reported they did not use a condom when they had sex.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>A significant percentage of the students have poor knowledge, attitude, and practice toward RSBs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.esxm.2020.04.006","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,2]],"date-time":"2020-06-02T05:00:35Z","timestamp":1591074035000},"page":"554-564","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1016\/elsevier_cm_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices of Jimma Teacher Training College Students Toward Risky Sexual Behaviors, Jimma, Ethiopia"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Yonas","family":"Tesfaye","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Liyew","family":"Agenagnew","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023012006270553900_bib1","article-title":"Defining sexual health sexual health document series","author":"WHO (World Health Organization)","year":"2002"},{"key":"2023012006270553900_bib2","first-page":"74","article-title":"HHS public access","volume":"10","year":"2016","journal-title":"Child Youth Serv Rev"},{"key":"2023012006270553900_bib3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"18","DOI":"10.2307\/2135972","article-title":"The relationship of substance use to sexual activity among young adults in the United States","volume":"27","author":"Graves","year":"1995","journal-title":"Fam Plann Perspect"},{"key":"2023012006270553900_bib4","article-title":"Risky adolescent sexual behavior: a psychological perspective for primary care clinicians","volume":"4","author":"Hall","year":"2004","journal-title":"Top Adv Pract Nurs"},{"key":"2023012006270553900_bib5","first-page":"1","article-title":"Pattern of risky sexual behavior and associated factors among undergraduate students of the University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria","volume":"8688","author":"State","year":"2012","journal-title":"Pan Afr Med J"},{"key":"2023012006270553900_bib6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"59","DOI":"10.11124\/jbisrir-2013-877","article-title":"Khat chewing and risky sexual behavior in Sub-Saharan Africa: a systematic review protocol","volume":"11","author":"Gebremedhin","year":"2013","journal-title":"JBI Database Syst Rev Implement Rep"},{"key":"2023012006270553900_bib7","article-title":"Central Statistical Agency.
