  "abstract": "<p>Students in higher institutions are exposed to many psychosocial problems and risky sexual behaviors as<br>\nthey are away from their parents and possibly due to suboptimal counseling services. The problems may<br>\nbe more apparent in newly established universities. Despite this concern, there is no information<br>\nregarding the psychosocial health status and risky sexual behaviors of students in higher learning<br>\ninstitutions in Ethiopia.<br>\nThe study aimed to assess and compare the magnitude of risky sexual behaviors and psychosocial ill<br>\nhealth among students of newly established and old universities.<br>\nThe study employed a comparative cross-sectional survey supplemented with qualitative methods.<br>\nCluster sampling technique was used to select the departments after dividing the total sample size<br>\nproportionally to first year and second year students. A total of 1033 students were included in this<br>\nstudy: 518 from DBU and 515 from AAU. Quantitative data were processed in SPSS v.13.00 statistical<br>\nsoftware. Ethical clearance was obtained from ethical review committee of the school of public health<br>\nand institutional review board at Medical Faculty of Addis Ababa University. Taped qualitative data<br>\nwere transcribed, translated into English, and manually analyzed by grouping into predetermined<br>\nthematic areas.</p>",
