Beyond high school: What do we know about young adults’ social and sexual contexts?

This literature review (the review) informs research to address young people, who are a priority population of the Second National Sexually Transmissible Infections Strategy 2010–2013 (SNSTIS, Commonwealth of Australia[COA], 2010). It extends the significant body of adolescent sexual health research to focus on older young people as a cohort of the priority population. The review defines young adults to be between the ages of 18 to 30.
