We recruited domestic (n\u2009=\u2009623) and Chinese international (n\u2009=\u2009500) students for separate online surveys on sexual behaviours and knowledge. Samples were compared using Chi square, Fisher\u2019s exact and equality of medians tests. Domestic students were more likely than international students to have ever touched a partner\u2019s genitals (81% vs. 53%, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.01), had oral sex (76% vs. 44%, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.01), vaginal intercourse (67% vs. 41%, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.01) and anal intercourse (31% vs. 6%, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.01). Domestic students were younger when they first touched a partner\u2019s genitals (16 vs. 18\u2009years, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.01), had oral sex (17 vs. 18\u2009years, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.01) and vaginal intercourse (17 vs. 18\u2009years, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.01). Domestic students were less likely than Chinese international students to report only one lifetime partner for touching genitals (22% vs. 50%, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.01), oral sex (25% vs. 55%, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.01), vaginal intercourse (30% vs. 58%, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.01) and anal intercourse (54% vs. 88%, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.01). Domestic students were more likely than Chinese international students to use the oral contraceptive pill (48% vs. 16%, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.01) and long-acting reversible contraceptives (19% vs. 1%, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.01). Domestic students scored higher than international students on a contraception and chlamydia quiz (4\/5 vs. 2\/5, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.01). Domestic and Chinese international students differed in sexual behaviours and knowledge highlighting the need for relevant sexual health promotion for both groups.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0956462420921726","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,4]],"date-time":"2020-06-04T00:59:51Z","timestamp":1591232391000},"page":"781-790","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Comparing sexual behaviours and knowledge between domestic students and Chinese international students in Australia: findings from two cross-sectional studies"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1810-8434","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Caitlin H","family":"Douglass","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Burnet Institute, Melbourne, Australia"},{"name":"School of Population and Global Health, University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Can","family":"Qin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Culture and Communication, University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fran","family":"Martin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Culture and Communication, University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yinzong","family":"Xiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Burnet Institute, Melbourne, Australia"},{"name":"St Vincent\u2019s Hospital, University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carol","family":"El-Hayek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Burnet Institute, Melbourne, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Megan SC","family":"Lim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Burnet Institute, Melbourne, Australia"},{"name":"School of Population and Global Health, University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0956462420921726","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1071\/SHv4n4Ab15"},{"key":"bibr2-0956462420921726","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"150","DOI":"10.32674\/jis.v4i2.475","volume":"4","author":"Poljski C","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Int Students"},{"key":"bibr3-0956462420921726","volume-title":"Fourth national sexually transmissible infections strategy 2018\u20132022","author":"Department of Health.","year":"2018"},{"key":"bibr4-0956462420921726","volume-title":"Eighth national HIV strategy","author":"Department of Health.","year":"2018"},{"key":"bibr5-0956462420921726","unstructured":"Department of Education SaE.
