In response, pregnancy prevention program development has increasingly focused on understanding how to better serve the needs of adolescents in underserved populations. To inform future program development and implementation efforts, this qualitative study explored which attributes of programs facilitated and hindered youth engagement. We collected data from educators (N = 43) and a subset of youth program participants (N = 249) from programs implemented by 14 organizations in different community-based settings. We used three data collection methods: (1) post-session surveys completed by educators, (2) post-program implementation interviews with educators, and (3) individual and focus group interviews with youth participants. Qualitative analyses revealed that educators who skillfully facilitated interactive activities and safe and inclusive learning environments promoted engagement. Feeling uncomfortable and awkward during program activities, learning in mixed-gender settings, and COVID-19 disruptions hindered engagement. Additionally, we found that youth participants had conflicting views on learning about sexual relationships at churches. Participants and educators had conflicting views on the benefit of youth attending programs with previously acquainted friends. © 2022 The MITRE Corporation.","PeriodicalId":45712,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Sexuality Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48833695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research seeks to investigate the common challenges and successes, professional resources, and online tools among sexuality educators teaching virtually during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Multiple states in the U.S. afford local authority in school policy, and existing literature calls for investigation of the impact of local interpretation and implementation of sex education policy. This study is the first to assess the association between stated county policy and select adolescent sexual health outcomes. In this single state multivariate analysis, stated county policy was not significantly associated with adolescent birth or sexually transmitted infections. The incongruity of evidence between the impacts of sex education programs and policies on teen birth and STIs in Florida suggests that implementation of policy and delivery of sex education at the district or school level may not align with stated county policy and may be a critical mediating factor, confirming an area of essential future research in sex education.","PeriodicalId":45712,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Sexuality Education","volume":"17 1","pages":"536 - 547"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47263533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We followed the procedures outlined in the Cooper’s five-step approach, and used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 reporting requirements. Published studies were identified using nine electronic databases. Studies were included based on (a) a focus on populations aged between 10 and 25 years; (b) an examination of the association between self-esteem-related factors, in line with RSB outcomes among adolescents and young adults; and (c) early sexual debut before 16 years, having multiple sex partners, and unprotected sex. In total, 11,216 studies were identified, of which nine studies met the inclusion criteria. All articles received high quality ratings. Despite methodological limitations, results showed that early sexual debut positively associated with self-esteem among female participants; condom use showed a negative association with lower self-esteem among female participants, while condom use decreased with decreasing self-esteem. Several sexual partners were found not to be associated with self-esteem. Intervention programs to increase the self-esteem of adolescents are recommended by educators to reduce risky sexual behavior among adolescents and young adults. Moreover, subsequent studies should develop instruments that assess self-esteem using subscales and educational programs that enhance healthy self-esteem development and correct sexual norms in peer groups and local communities. KEY MESSAGE Early sexual debut was positively associated with self-esteem, and condom use negatively associated with self-esteem among adolescents. Intervention programs are recommended to establish healthy self-esteem and reduce risky sexual behavior among adolescents and young adults. Future research should consider self-esteem as a pertinent aspect of sexual behaviors (e.g., physical pride, romantic capacity, and sexual autonomy).","PeriodicalId":45712,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Sexuality Education","volume":"18 1","pages":"484 - 503"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44537897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results Three themes emerged from the analysis: (a) perceptions of sexual health education, (b) threat of adverse sexual health outcomes, and (c) perceptions of condom usage. Overall, adolescents had basic sexual health knowledge and accurately appraised their risk for adverse sexual health outcomes. Many adolescents perceived the biggest disadvantage of condom usage was condom ineffectiveness. The greatest barrier to condom usage was male opposition. Adolescents perceived the threat of adverse sexual health outcomes, but the perceived benefits of condom usage in preventing pregnancies and STIs may not outweigh the disadvantages and barriers described by the adolescents.

Teaching and learning sexuality education has been seen as the responsibility for teachers only, however research indicate that it is a responsibility and collaboration of all stakeholders. Underpinned by an Asset-based approach as the theoretical framework this study addressed this question: “How can an Asset-based approach be utilized to enhance Comprehensive Sexuality Education in rural ecologies?” A case study research design and an interpretive research as the paradigm were adopted. Data were generated using focus group discussions, one-on-one interviews and reflective narratives with teachers, parents, learners, pastor, chief, nurse, social worker and a local business representative and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings pointed out that, the collaboration of various stakeholders enhance the teaching of sexuality education; a strong ongoing partnership between the community and the school should be maintained and sexuality education workshops for young people in collaboration with communities facilitated by social workers. The study concludes that the teaching of Comprehensive Sexuality Education is not a responsibility for schools only, but encourages community-based collaborations and shared activities from the school communities.","PeriodicalId":45712,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Sexuality Education","volume":"18 1","pages":"420 - 442"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49485487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
