The role of various influence sources on sexual behavior in adolescents with type 1 diabetes in comparison to healthy peers: a cross-sectional study from Greece.

The majority of T1D adolescents felt that they were adequately informed on sexual matters compared to healthy peers. They mostly used friends of the opposite sex and teachers as information sources. Nevertheless, T1D adolescents were more likely to adopt a risky sexual behavior if they were not informed by their parents and medical professionals, or preferred friends of the opposite sex.
