Abstract

Abstract Low health literacy poses many problems in the public health field and is linked to numerous negative health outcomes, including STIs and unplanned pregnancies. While many interventions focus on giving adolescents and young adults access to comprehensive sex education, these interventions do not necessarily improve sexual health literacy, which is a major asset to improving sexual health. Learning the skills to access, understand, and use sexual health information can compensate for the deficit of comprehensive sex education in the U.S. and worldwide. One innovative way this issue can be addressed is through the use of educational sexual health podcasts. Podcasts are a proven, effective tool to disseminate health information to a large population of people. They can be particularly useful in increasing sexual health literacy by increasing access by eliminating logistical barriers and embarrassment and confidentiality issues.

播客及其提高青少年性健康素养的潜力

摘要健康知识水平低在公共卫生领域造成了许多问题，并与许多负面健康结果有关，包括性传播感染和计划外怀孕。虽然许多干预措施侧重于让青少年和年轻人获得全面的性教育，但这些干预措施并不一定能提高性健康素养，而性健康素养是改善性健康的主要资产。学习获取、理解和使用性健康信息的技能可以弥补美国和世界各地全面性教育的不足。解决这个问题的一种创新方式是使用教育性健康播客。播客是向广大人民传播健康信息的一种行之有效的工具。它们可以通过消除后勤障碍、尴尬和保密问题来增加性健康知识的获取，从而在提高性健康知识方面特别有用。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
