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