SUMMARY
The objective of this study was to map the reported behaviors and attitudes of young Britons of south Asian origin that may have implications for sexual health. The study reports implications for the delivery of sexual health services to the minority who are sexually active before marriage. The underreporting of condom use by Asian men compared with their non-Asian counterparts, suggest failure of the existing sexual health education and health services to reach minority ethnic young men. This may be remedied by collaborative work with institutions currently used by the Asian community.
