Sexual practices of Latin America and the Caribbean
Resum
Research on sexual behavior has increased in recent decades as a result not only of the outbreak of HIV/AIDS, but also of the difficulties raised by sexual and reproductive health policies. There is huge regional variation, both in the amount of knowledge about sexuality and the trends, mostly due to differences in the economic, social, and cultural determinants of sexual behavior (Wellings et al. 2006; Bozon 2003; Lloyd 2005). Designing interventions in the field of sexual health thus requires a good knowledge of region-specific trends. While many investigations focus on Africa or Europe and other high-income countries, and knowledge of Asia is rather scarce, Latin America falls in the middle, with a growing body of research on sexual behavior.Fitxa bibliogràfica
