Objective To build the suitable and appropriate measure tool for adolescent sexual health behaviors. Methods A random cluster sampling method was conducted to a total of 386 adolescents (average age 17.2±0.62) and the explorative and confirmatory factor analysis were carried out. Results Confirmatory factor analysis was formed by official scales 20 questions,four factors (condom use factor 1,prevent contact with body fluids of factor 2,sexual self-efficacy of factor 3,to avoid risky behavior of factor 4),could be interpreted as the variance 58.75%,which showed the basic adaptation of the scale of the overall pattern was better; and test-retest reliability factor was between 0.802~0.901,overall coefficient was 0.882,which indicated that the scale had a good internal consistency reliability. Conclusion The adolescent sexual health behaviors constructed scale has good construct validity and reliability for the use of adolescent sexual health behaviors.
