The mean age of the respondents was 31.8 \u00b1 9.5 years. More than half (51.8%) of the respondents received information on sexual matters through friends. Awareness regarding the usage of condoms and other preventive measures was poor (34.7%). Around 65.7% of the respondents felt that sex education in school encourages sex amongst youngsters. The mean age at the first sexual intercourse amongst men and women was 20.3 years and 16.2 years, respectively. About 18.7% of the respondents had sex with a new partner in the migrated place within the last 1 month, of which 80% were married. Only 5% of the respondents used condoms while indulging in sex with a new partner at the migrated place. Factors such as age at marriage, age at the first sexual act and attitude towards sexual activity were significantly associated with a new sex partner at the arrival site.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There is a high prevalence of unsafe sexual practices amongst the migrated Siddi tribe at the place of destination. This poses the risk of sexually transmitted infections amongst the migrant tribes and local communities at the place of destination and the location of origin. The study finding shows that measures should be taken to create awareness, and change in attitude towards sexual matter should be channelised at an early age amongst the Siddi population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/npmj.npmj_606_21","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,20]],"date-time":"2021-10-20T13:55:58Z","timestamp":1634738158000},"page":"225-231","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Factors Determining Sexual Behaviour amongst Siddi Tribe Migrating to Udupi District, India"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Mackwin Kenwood","family":"Dmello","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sudeep","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sanjeev","family":"Badiger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jagannath","family":"Purushottam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-12-20240908","first-page":"673","article-title":"Tribes in Karnataka: Status of health research","volume":"141","author":"Roy","year":"2015","journal-title":"Indian J Med Res"},{"key":"R2-12-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"337","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-2486.2005.00503.x","article-title":"A global perspective on globalization (Book review of Globalisation: People, Perspectives, and Progress, by William H","volume":"7","author":"Deflem","year":"2005","journal-title":"Mott IV).
