Executive Summary – Youth Intervention Study

In the past decades, Malaysia has undergone rapid economic, social and cultural changes, which impacted not only the daily lives of its people but also their worldviews and values. This is particularly so for young people, as excessive exposure to information from the social media, internet and pornography had inevitably influence their lifestyle and behaviour. The socio-cultural changes are likely associated with increased rates of non-marital sexual activity, increased rates of sex partner
change and increased rates of sexually transmitted infection (STIs).
