Description
Alonso Martínez and co-authors adapted a six-question Sexual Risk Behaviour Scale for Spanish speakers in 2026 and checked it measures what it claims. The scale targets adolescents, young adults, and future health and education workers in training. Altogether, 478 students aged from 13 to 48 took part, recruited through schools and universities, and clinicians reviewed the wording. Statistical analyses tested structure, consistency, and links with six related sexuality measures.
The Spanish version held together well, its reliability score reaching an acceptable level for research use. Scores averaged about 10 on a scale from 6 to 24, and factor analysis confirmed all six items tap one dimension of risk. Scores patterned sensibly: they varied with age, gender, education, and dating app use. Risk scores also rose alongside heavy social media use, pornography use, and attitudes excusing sexual violence. The authors offer the scale as a validated tool for Spanish-language prevention research and practice.
