BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Sending and receiving sexually suggestive or explicit images
or texts (sexting) have been shown to be associated with health risk behaviors
but literature about this phenomenon is scarce in Nigeria. This study looked at
the prevalence, predictors, and associated sexual risk behaviors of sexting among
postsecondary school young persons in Ibadan, Nigeria. METHODS: This was a
cross-sectional study using a self-administered questionnaire. Data were obtained
for sociodemographic characteristics and sexual orientation, sexting behavior,
personality assessment (using the International Personality Item Pool Big-Five
factor markers), indicators for problematic phone use (using Mobile Phone Problem
Use Scale), and sexual behavior. Chi square test and logistic regression were
used for data analysis with p?=?0.05. RESULTS: Five hundred seventy-five
participants were recruited, age range 14-24?years, and 46.0% were males. Twenty
percent had sent sexts, while 33.2% had received sexts. Fifty-four percent had
high scores in extraversion, 46.5% had moderate-severe problematic phone use.
Sixteen percent had ever had sex, and 40.0% of these had multiple sexual
partners. Males were more likely than females to have sent sexts (OR?=?2.67, 95%
CI: 1.68-4.24). Having a high extraversion score (OR?=?2.44, 95% CI: 1.35-4.41)
and moderate-severe problematic phone use (OR?=?5.56, 95% CI: 2.73-11.32) was
predictive of sexting. Sending and receiving of sext were significantly
associated with ever having sexual intercourse (OR?=?4.01, 95% CI: 2.25-7.17 and
OR?=?2.96, 95% CI: 1.72-5.12, respectively). CONCLUSION: Sexting was prevalent
among postsecondary school young persons in Ibadan and was associated with male
sex and problematic phone use. Intervention targeted at the identified
susceptible group of young people may reduce its associated problems in this
study group.
