Objective: To explore the factors associated with the onset of sexual activity in adolescents attending school (12\u201316 years) in Bucaramanga. Materials and Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study included 440 adolescents from a public school. An instrument developed by Latin American Center for Perinatology - History of Adolescents was applied, and descriptive and bivariate analyses were conducted using a binomial regression model adjusted by age and sex, with sexual activity onset as the outcome and possible associated factors as exposures. Results: The prevalence of the onset of sexual activity was 22.27% (95% CI: 18.56\u201326.46). Factors associated with greater prevalence of sexual activity onset were having a criminal record and partner PR=3.24, (95%CI: 2.60\u20134.05) and PR=2.00, (95%CI: 1.42\u20132.82), respectively. Male gender PR=1.19, (95% CI: 0.84\u20131.67), using tobacco PR=1.23 (95% CI: 0.73\u20132.06), alcohol consumption PR=1.23, (95% CI: 0.73\u20132.06), and other psychoactive substance use PR=1.78, (95% CI: 0.99\u20133.19) were risk factors; meanwhile, socializing with friends was a protective factor PR=0.27, (95% CI: 0.20\u20130.36). Discussion: Follow-up by parents and school support decrease the risk of adolescent sexual activity onset. Furthermore, interventions in the family and school settings are important. Conclusion: There are conditions that could promote the beginning of sexual activity in adolescence such as being male, having a partner, having a criminal record, smoking, and consuming alcohol or other substances could promote adolescent sexual activity onset, while socializing with friends was found to be a protective factor.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.15649\/cuidarte.3304","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,23]],"date-time":"2024-04-23T00:22:52Z","timestamp":1713831772000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.15649\/cuidarte.crossmark","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Factors associated with the onset of sexual activity in adolescents: Analytic cross-sectional"],"prefix":"10.15649","author":[{"name":"Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia, Bucaramanga, Colombia.","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0142-692X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nancy Milena","family":"Sep\u00falveda Sep\u00falveda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4751-6173","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diana Isabel","family":"C\u00e1ceres Rivera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia, Bucaramanga, Colombia.","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7698-7900","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luis Alberto","family":"L\u00f3pez Romero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"Universidad Industrial de Santander, Bucaramanga, Colombia.","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3311-0989","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martha Jeannette","family":"D\u00edaz Wandurraga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia, Bucaramanga, Colombia.","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"6285","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"container-title":["Revista Cuidarte"],"original-title":["Factores asociados al inicio de actividad sexual en adolescentes: Estudio transversal anal\u00edtico"],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/revistas.udes.edu.co\/cuidarte\/article\/download\/3304\/3021","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/revistas.udes.edu.co\/cuidarte\/article\/download\/3304\/3024","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/revistas.udes.edu.co\/cuidarte\/article\/download\/3304\/3023","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/revistas.udes.edu.co\/cuidarte\/article\/download\/3304\/3022","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/revistas.udes.edu.co\/cuidarte\/article\/download\/3304\/3021","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,25]],"date-time":"2024-04-25T15:45:18Z","timestamp":1714059918000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/revistas.udes.edu.co\/cuidarte\/article\/view\/3304"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.15649\/cuidarte.3304","relation":{},"ISSN":["2216-0973","2346-3414"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2216-0973","type":"print"},{"value":"2346-3414","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024]]}}}
