The significant decline in condom use among young people in Europe and Canada poses serious risks of STIs and unwanted pregnancies, urging immediate health measures.
The report indicates that condom use among sexually active adolescents dropped significantly from 70% to 61% for boys and from 63% to 57% for girls between 2014-2022.
In Scotland, only 37% of girls and 47% of boys reported using condoms last time they had sex, showcasing a dramatic decrease from previous years.
The WHO emphasizes the need for comprehensive sexuality education and better access to contraception services to combat the declining trend in condom usage.
