Abstrakt: Concern about young people's sexual and reproduction health has recently increased in Turkey. This study aimed to search university students' knowledge and practices about sexual and reproduction health. The study utilized a cross-sectional design. 1,112 students (567 female and 545 male) from Selcuk University were the sampling for the study. The average age of the study group was 21.1 ± 2.0. Students' average sexual experiences were 17.7%. 8.1% of sexually active students were female and 91.95% of sexually active students were male students. Findings showed that there was need to have a youth center in the university that should inform students about healthy sexual intercourse in non-threatening confidential ways. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
