Among high school students who had sexual intercourse during the past 3 months, the percentage who used a condom during last sexual intercourse
Statewide prevalence of having used a condom during last sexual intercourse among Alaska traditional high school students who had sexual intercourse in the past 3 months. This includes students in public traditional high schools with enrollments of at least 10 students (excluding boarding, correspondence, home study, alternative, and correctional schools). The statewide traditional high school results are weighted by grade, sex, and race/ethnicity.
Regional prevalence (by Alaska Public Health Region) of having used a condom during last sexual intercourse among high school students who had sexual intercourse in the past 3 months. This includes students in public traditional, alternative, and correctional high schools (excluding boarding, correspondence, and home study schools). Local results from participating school districts contain both weighted and unweighted data.
**In 2019, regional results based on YRBS data were no longer released due to inconsistent survey participation from all Alaska school districts. We currently report district-level results for participating districts in years when the sample size requirements are met and results can be weighted. For questions about school districts not included here, please check the most recent Alaska YRBS results.
