| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST R0xV8dPV. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. In the southern United States, North Carolina has attracted an unprecedented influx of Hispanic immigrants in the 1990s. Detailed data on the sexual behavior of these recent immigrants are lacking. This exploratory study used two methods, a survey and qualitative interviews. For both methods, participants were recruited using convenience sampling. All study participants were first-generation Mexican immigrants who had lived in North Carolina for at least six consecutive months. The survey, administered face-to-face, explored the sexual attitudes and behavior of 43 married Mexican men living in North Carolina. The qualitative interviews, conducted with men (n=20) and women (n=19), explored immigrants'perceptions of extramarital sex and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). The study's results suggest that the sexual behavior of unaccompanied'married Mexican immigrant men, living alone in North Carolina, differs, at least in degree if not in kind, from that of accompanied'married men, residing in the state with their wives. Unaccompanied men who participated in the survey reported more lifetime sexual partners, more partners in the previous year, more extramarital partners and more contact with prostitutes than accompanied survey respondents.
