Religiosity & Spirituality, and Sexual Behaviors: A Correlation
I am Cristina Teresa A. Guerrero, a 4th year BA Behavioral Sciences in the University of the Philippines Manila. I am currently conducting a research about the correlation on religiosity and spirituality, and sexual behaviors of college students.

This study is intended to determine any significant associations between religiosity and spirituality, and adolescent sexual behavior. Being one of the respondents in this study will be of great help in achieving the goal of the researcher. Your participation will greatly contribute to the improvement of the issue, knowledge of the underlying significant factors and probe of the subsequent solutions to the problem.

In this study, I would primarily be collecting data through survey questionnaires containing items that are relevant to the problem being. The questions that you will be answering are based on some of your experiences. It will only take less than ten minutes to answer it.

Your answers to the following questions will be truly helpful in the development and success of the study. The data you will provide will be used specifically for this research and not in any other endeavors. All your response will be kept strictly confidential.

Thank you very much for giving some of your time in answering this research questionnaire. Your time and effort in answering this will really contribute to the success of this study.
