Abstract
Transitioning from childhood to adulthood allows the growth to challenge what one has been taught in life thus far. Importance of familial and traditional values are projected onto the majority of Latinx youth and future generations. In regards to making decisions for oneself, can coming from a Latinx background impact college students' sexual behaviors, attitudes and sexual cares on campuses? Sex is a controversial topic in Latinx culture. It is important to analyze and investigate the students' backgrounds and teachings growing up to be able to compare the choices and decisions they make while being in college. The study of Latinx college students examines the accessibility and use of health resources on college campuses and the evolving of cultural behaviors and attitudes to provide insight on cultural-impacts on behaviors that may change in college. This qualitative study was carried out through an anonymous survey distributed on social media platforms.
