RESUMOEstudo descritivo, caracterizado como revisão de literatura, com o objetivo de delinear um perfil da literatura científica sobre a paternidade na adolescência, que e com mais freqüência, é vivenciada por muitos jovens. Foram consultados os bancos de dissertações e teses organizados pela Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento do Ensino Superior — Capes e pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Informação em Ciência e Tecnologia — IBICT; a Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde da Biblioteca Regional de Medicina — Bireme e o site do Scientific Electronic Library On-line — SCIELO, organizado pela Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo — Fapesp, livros e revistas científicas. Após uma leitura mais cuidadosa, selecionamos 38 referências e nos detivemos naquelas que focalizavam temas específicos da paternidade na adolescência. A escolha pautou-se ainda na priorização dos textos completos ou daqueles cujos resumos forneciam elementos satisfatórios para a compreensão da temática abordada. Em sua imensa maioria, tais estudos foram resultados de pesquisas de cunho eminentemente qualitativo, os quais se encontram distribuídas entre livros, periódicos, revistas e autores corporativos. O que se percebeu, além do interesse mundial pela saúde do adolescente ter aumentado significativamente nos últimos anos, é que existe escassez na literatura nacional e internacional de estudos científicos que envolvam adolescentes do sexo masculino e, sobretudo de paternidade na adolescência, em particular.Descritores: Adolescência; Paternidade; Pai; Adolescente.ABSTRACTDescriptive study, characterized as literature review, with the objective to get information on the paternity in the adolescence, that and with more frequency, is lived deeply by many young. Dissertations and thesis files had been consulted organized by the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento do Ensino Superior — Capes and for the Instituto Brasileiro de Informação em Ciência e Tecnologia — IBICT; Virtual Library in Health of the Biblioteca Regional de Medicina — Bireme and the site of the Scientific Electronic Library On-line — SCIELO, organized for the Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo — Fapesp, books and scientifics journals. After a more careful reading, we select 38 references that focused specific subjects of the paternity in the adolescence. The choice was still based on texts complete or summaries supplied in satisfactory elements for understanding the thematic. In its immense majority, such studies were resulted of research of eminently qualitative research, which they find distributed between books, periodic, journals and corporative authors. What was perceived, beyond the world interest by the adolescent’s health to have increased significantly in the last years, in general, there is scarcity in national and international literature of scientific studies that involve male adolescent and paternity in the adolescence, in particular.Descriptors: Adolescence; Paternity; Father; Adolescent.

Sexuality in adolescence: a journey beyond coitus
Abstract: The study aimed to investigate the perception of adolescent students about the issues that integrate sexual health. The research was designed from an exploratory and descriptive method, with a qualitative approach, developed in a school unit in the city of Icó - Ceará (Brazil), in October 2017. The data were extracted from interviews, and counted with the participation of 8 adolescents, where, later, it was subjected to Minayo's content analysis. The results brought important reflections, and the organization of the speeches allowed the construction of 3 categories: Horizons of sexuality in adolescence; Interrupted family dialogues about sexuality in adolescence; The internet as a definer in the knowledge of adolescents about sexuality. The results made it possible to understand the problems associated with adolescent sexuality, in an attempt to also perceive multiple nexuses involving these discussions, in addition to bringing to light biopsychosociocultural aspects of great relevance to this phase of life.

The aim of this study is to describe and analyze educational actions and promotion of sexual health activities for adolescents in an Elementary School in Florianopolis. It is a qualitative research, combined with the methodology of Paulo Freire, consisting of the investigation about themes raised by the adolescents (adolescence, sexuality, sexually transmitted diseases and contraception) through ‘culture circles’. The survey was performed at second semester of 2011, and applied to 45 students. As a result, the educational actions focused at the adolescent health promotion, encouraged the autonomy of the group and clarified doubts about sexuality and the construction of personality, as well as practical issues of STDs, prejudice and contraception. The ‘culture circles’ were effective actions for sexual health education, which is consistent with the high approval rate of the activity by students.

Background: During puberty and emerging sexuality, adolescents experience important physical, mental, and social transformations. In the process of dealing with these changes, adolescents can become potentially vulnerable to mental health problems. Aim: The aim is to identify and synthesize published research evidence on sexuality-related mental health stressors among adolescent girls and boys, identify gaps (if any) in the current knowledge, and contribute to the knowledge about the experiences of emerging sexuality and health among adolescents, to further inform research, practice, and policy initiatives in sexual health. Design: A scoping literature review of peer-reviewed articles published between 1990 and 2021. MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Global health, ERIC, and Sociological Abstracts databases were searched for research studies that reported experiences of sexuality-related mental health issues and symptomatology of adolescents. We targeted studies conducted with adolescent populations between ages 10–19 years living in LMICs. Results: Data from 12 published research papers, including 8 qualitative studies, 3 quantitative studies, and 1 mixed method study, were systematically analyzed. Four major themes and four sub-themes were identified regarding the sexual and mental health of adolescents: (1) Relationship of sexuality and mental health; (2) Social and cultural influences; (3) Challenges in seeking sexuality information and services among adolescents; and (4) Educational needs among adolescents related to sexuality. Conclusions: Lack of social support, unmet needs for accessible adolescent-friendly sexual health services, counseling, and age-appropriate information may be associated with several mental health stressors and symptoms, such as sadness, depressive and anxiety symptomatology, regret, fear, embarrassment, low self-esteem, guilt, shame, and anger. Therefore, tackling sexuality-related stressors could play an important role in addressing the overall well-being of young people. Future studies need to generate a deeper understanding of the concept of sexual health and its relation to mental health in diverse contexts. Implications for Practice: Health care professionals need to be aware of sexuality-related experiences of adolescent girls and boys by offering effective youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health education to support overall mental health and improve the experiences of emerging sexuality in adolescents.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore how the content and approach of parent-adolescent communication about sexuality were associated with three adolescent sexuality variables (sexual attitudes, combination of all behaviors and advanced behaviors). Design/methodology/approach Survey research with adolescents was conducted in classrooms at school. Participants were 473 adolescents (196 males, 253 females and 24 unreported) in grades 9–12 from two high schools (one urban and one suburban) in a large midwestern city. Findings Adolescents who described their parents’ communication approach as open, or who did not engage in conversations about sexuality with their parents reported lower rates of sexual behavior, when compared to adolescents whose parents dictated such conversations. Females were found to have more conservative sexual attitudes than males, and both mothers and fathers were found to have a direct role in talking to their children about sexuality. Originality/value Findings from the study may offer guidance to parents and help adults aiming to empower youth to make healthy sexual decisions.

<p>Adolescence is a period of searching for identity that requires information on reproductive health and sexuality so as not to fall into premarital sexual behavior. Parents play an important role in providing reproductive health information to adolescents. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between partner support, perceived barriers, and self-confidence with parents behavior for giving adolescent reproductive health education. The research employed a cross sectional approach which was conducted online in June-August 2020 to 300 parents of teenagers aged 15-19 years. The sampling technique is double sampling using self-administered questionnaire that has been tested for validity. Bivariate analysis was performed using Chi square and multivariate analysis was performed using logistic regression test. The results showed that parents' self-confidence was the most influential factor in reproductive health education for adolescents (OR=3.052, CI=1.534-6.071). Parents who have low self-confidence tend not to provide comprehensive reproductive health information to adolescents. Lack of skills to explain the topic of sexuality, lack of knowledge of the material that will be given, and the shame when conveying sexuality material is something that affects parents' self-confidence. Training is needed for parents on how to provide information on reproductive health to adolescents.</p>

Sexuality is an integral part of health and well-being. Despite a 30-year history of adolescent sexuality research, there has been little that has focused on more than risky sexual behaviour. For example, there has been little research on conceptions of sexuality and pathways to sexual health. In part, this is because sexual health has been often defined as the lack of risky behaviour and health problems. In the studies reported here, components of female sexual health were identified and tested, including behaviours and cognitions, among groups of girls in their late teens and early 20s. After a review of the literature, four sets of factors appeared central to identifying female sexual health. These factors included sexual subjectivity, sexual agency, psychosocial well-being and sexual exploration. The first factor, sexual subjectivity, had previously been described as important to female sexual well-being, but had been developed within feminist theories and studied with qualitative methodologies. After a thorough review of the literature, no psychometrically sound measure of sexual subjectivity was found. Therefore, an instrument to assess sexual subjectivity was constructed and validated through a series of studies. Partially as expected, five factors were found - sexual body-esteem, entitlement to sexual pleasure from oneself, entitlement to sexual pleasure from a partner, sexual self-efficacy in achieving sexual pleasure, and sexual self-reflection. In additional cross-sectional and longitudinal (6-month, 2 waves) studies, associations between sexual subjectivity, sexual agency, psychosocial well-being, and sexual experience were examined. The results showed that there were concurrent associations between sexual subjectivity and measures of sexual agency and some measures of psychosocial wellbeing. Results also showed that females with more sexual experience (i.e., experience with sexual intercourse, self-masturbation, noncoital orgasmic responsiveness, and same-sex sexual experience) were relatively higher in sexual subjectivity and sexual agency. However, well-being was similar in sexual experience groups when they were compared. In longitudinal analyses, changes in sexual subjectivity, sexual agency and psychosocial well-being were examined for the whole sample and among subgroups defined by levels of sexual experience. Comparisons were also made between those girls who commenced sexual intercourse during the course of the study, those who remained virgins, and those who were nonvirgins at the first assessment. Main effects generally validated cross-sectional findings. Girls who commenced first sexual intercourse relatively earlier increased in self-esteem over time, compared to their virgin counterparts. Girls who reported a history of self-masturbation and noncoital orgasmic responsiveness, and girls who reported no history with either behaviour, increased in sexual body-esteem and self-esteem over time, but the former group of girls were relatively higher in sexual body-esteem and self-esteem than the latter group of girls. Girls who reported a history of one, but not the other of self-masturbation and noncoital orgasm did not change over time. Results also indicated that girls' transition to first sexual intercourse had little association with sexual subjectivity, but some findings were suggestive of a need for further research. Future research, and study strengths and limitations are discussed. There is a need to examine sexual subjectivity as both an antecedent and an outcome using longer time lags with several waves of assessment so that the linkages between sexual subjectivity and other factors can be determined. The implications of sexual subjectivity and sexual exploration for sexuality education are also discussed.

Magister Public Health - MPH (Public Health)Teenage pregnancy remains a complex issue globally. According to the World Health Organisation (2014), the average global birth rate of girls aged 15-19 years was 49 per 1000 births reported globally. In South Africa, the general household survey conducted in 2014 revealed that 5.6% of females 14-19 years were reported to have been pregnant in 2013, with teenage pregnancy increasing by age from 0.8% for the age group of 14 years to 11.9% for teenagers aged 19 years. In South Africa, a range of health policies and programs exist to address teenage pregnancy, including school-based sex education, peer education programmes, adolescent friendly clinic initiatives and mass media interventions. Despite such initiatives, the number of teenagers becoming pregnant remains high. Teenage pregnancy reported in Mangaung district is 7%, which is three times more than the provincial target of 2% for teenage pregnancy. This research therefore aimed to explore the reasons behind teenage pregnancy in Heidedal, Mangaung District, Free State Province, South Africa. Two in- depth interviews were conducted, one with twelve teenage mothers and the other with four key informants who were selected based on insight and experience they possess in working with teenagers. The key informants suitable for the study included a nurse, life orientation teacher, ward councillor and a counsellor working for a non-governmental organization that supports the implementation of youth programmes in the health facility. Thematic analysis was used to analyse data and key themes, afterwards concepts were interpreted so that explanations could be constructed to answer the research aim and objectives. The study aimed to contribute to understanding reasons behind the high teenage pregnancy rates in Mangaung District. This information will be useful to policy makers in developing policies and strategies that will address factors identified to be influencing teenage pregnancy.

Sammandrag Bakgrund: Sexualitet är en väsentlig del av att vara människa och varje individ har rätt till en trygg och hälsosam sexualitet. Upprepade studier påvisar dock förändrade sexualvanor hos ungdomar med mer tillåtande attityder och ett ökat risktagande kring sexualitet. Konsekvenserna av ett sexuellt risktagande kan bli allvarliga och det förebyggande arbetet blir alltmer viktigt. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att identifiera vilka faktorer som har samband med ett sexuellt risktagande hos ungdomar i årskurs 2 på gymnasiet, samt att undersöka om könsskillnader förelåg. Metod: En empirisk studie med kvantitativ metod har använts. Studien bygger på ett redan insamlat material som är byggt på en enkätundersökning. Materialet har analyserats i statistikprogrammet SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) och via Chi-square test testades där huvudvariabeln, >3 sexualpartners under det senaste året, mot relevanta variabler i enkäten. En logistisk regressionsanalys gjordes för att kunna utesluta eventuella slumpmässiga samband. Resultat: Alkoholkonsumtion, narkotikaanvändning och rökning var några av de faktorer som visade sig ha ett samband med ungdomarnas sexuella risktagande. Flertalet av riksfaktorerna skilde sig mellan könen, men alkoholkonsumtion var en gemensam riskfaktor för både flickor och pojkar. Slutsats: Studien visar att följande faktorer kan leda till ett ökat sexuellt risktagande hos ungdomar: äter inte frukt, rökande storasyster, snusande bästis, använt narkotika, varit full/ varit full >3ggr, rökt vattenpipa, trivs inte med livet, röker, rökande mamma, rökande storasyster och snusar.Abstract Background: Sexuality is an essential part of human nature and each individual has the right to a safe and healthy sexuality. Repeated studies indicate, however, altered sexual behavior among adolescents, with more permissive attitudes and an increased risk taking concerning sexuality. The consequences of a sexual risk behavior can become severe and the preventive work becomes increasingly important. Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with sexual risk taking among young people in Year 2 at high school, and to examine whether gender differences existed. Method: An empirical study using a quantitative method has been used. The study is based on an already collected material that is built on a survey. The material has been analyzed in the statistical program SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) and by chi-square test the main variable, >3 sexual partners during the last year, was tested against relevant variables in the survey. This was accompanied by a univariate frequency analysis to ensure the distribution and a logistic regression analysis to exclude any apparent connection. Results: Alcohol consumption, drug use and smoking were factors that appeared to be related to young people's sexual risk taking. The factors that were most significantly differed between the sexes, but alcohol consumption were a common risk factor for both girls and boys. Conclusion: The study shows that the following factors can lead to increased sexual risk-taking among young people: do not eat fruit, smoking big sister, snuff best friend, used drugs, been drunk / been completed> 3 times, smoked hookah, not happy with life, smokes, smoking mother, smoking big sister and sniffs.

O objetivo desse estudo foi compreender as interações vivenciadas pelo adolescente para o desenvolvimento da sexualidade, na perspectiva bioecológica. Metodologia: pesquisa qualitativa, desenhada sob a influência da Psicologia do Desenvolvimento no Modelo Bioecológico do Desenvolvimento Humano de Urie Bronfenbrenner, utilizando-se da Inserção Ecológica como referencial metodológico. Foi realizada junto a 11 adolescentes de ambos os sexos, com idades de 13 a 15 anos regularmente matriculados no turno da tarde de uma escola pública de ensino fundamental do município de Pelotas/RS, devidamente autorizados pelos pais ou responsáveis no período de junho a novembro de 2015. Mediante a técnica de grupo focal, foram utilizadas dinâmicas selecionadas de material previamente existente como instrumento de pesquisa, bem como o Mapa Mínimo de Relações. Houve, também, a utilização da técnica de coleta de dados chamada observação participante e do instrumento de diário reflexivo. O software Ethnograph® foi utilizado para a codificação dos dados em categorização previamente definida pelo referencial teórico e os objetivos da pesquisa, auxiliando na etapa de interpretação. Procedeu-se a análise de conteúdo. Resultados: Os adolescentes conceberam o adolescer como o desligamento da infância rumo às transformações que possibilitaram vivenciar a sexualidade. Já a sexualidade associou-se às manifestações funcionais, relacionais e afetivas com prazer genital e/ou reprodução. Na concepção dos adolescentes, o processo de adolescer e a sexualidade restringiram-se a abordagens fragmentadas e restritas aos aspectos biológicos, reproduzindo distanciamento que fragilizou o desenvolvimento. Os adolescentes interagiam com amigos, família, escola e serviço de saúde, nesta ordem de relevância. A rede social era numerosa e multifuncional, com predomínio de amigos na função de apoio social. Foram identificadas fragilidades quanto ao acolhimento do adolescente pelos contextos família, escola e serviço de saúde. A utilização de dinâmicas nos grupos focais possibilitou a livre expressão e participação dos adolescentes no próprio desenvolvimento e foram apontadas como promotoras de interação entre adolescentes e os contextos nos quais eles participavam. Para diminuir as fragilidades e potencializar seus achados, o retorno social desta pesquisa prevê a execução de atividades alicerçadas no tripé ensino, pesquisa e extensão universitária.
The objective of this study was to understand the interaction experienced by the adolescent to the development of sexuality under the bioecological perspective. Methodology: this is a qualitative research, which was designed under the influence of the Psychology of Development in the Bioecological Model of Human Development by Urie Bronfenbrenner, which also made use of Ecological Insertion as methodological framework. The study was performed together with 11 adolescents of both sexes, aging 13 to 15 years old, regularly enrolled in an elementary public school during the afternoon, in Pelotas/RS, properly authorized by their parents or responsible, from June to November 2015. Through focal group technique, dynamics selected from previous material were used as research tools, as well as Relationship Minimum Map. There was also a data collection tool called participant observation and reflexive diary. The Ethnograph® Software was used to code the data in categories previous defined by the theoretical framework and research objectives, which has helped to interpret it. Following to that, the content analysis proceeded. Results: the adolescents conceived the process of becoming an adolescent as childhood shutdown towards transformations that enable the experience of sexuality. On the other hand, this process associated to functional, relational and affective manifestations, this last one related to genital and/or reproduction pleasure. From the conception of adolescents, the process of becoming an adolescent and sexuality restrains to fragmented and restricted approaches to biological aspects, which reproduced shutdown that weak the development. The adolescents interacted to friends, family, school and health services, in this order of relevance. The social network was numerous and multifunctional, with predominance of friends as social support. It was possible to identify some fragilities that came from family, school and health services contexts while welcoming the adolescents. The use of dynamics in focal groups enabled free expression and participation in their own development, and it was pointed out as promoters of interaction among adolescents and the contexts where they participated. In order to diminish the fragilities and potentiate the findings, the social return of this research predicts the execution of activities based on the tripod of learning, research and university extension.

Rice, Jeremy F. "My worst ever night at the best school ball ever : creating taboo theatre for teenagers". Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2013. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/849.
Texto completoResumen
My Worst Ever Night at the Best School Ball Ever (School Ball) is a new play for teenage audiences. The action takes place on the night of a ball for final year students. A prank with a goat goes horribly wrong, a photo of a girl pissing in a pot plant is widely circulated, and everyone finds out about the boy in a sexual relationship with a teacher. At the heart of the play are teenagers, armed with mobile phones, trying to find their way in a contradictory and confusing world.
The creative development of School Ball centred on practice-based artistic research into the field of theatre for young audiences (TYA) through my practice as a director. The research question was: how to produce taboo theatre for teenagers?
School Ball was conceived as a production that would tour to schools. The school ball concept was popular with teachers, parents and theatre company board members but I encountered strong resistance to the story of a male student in a sexual relationship with a female teacher. Even though such relationships were being reported weekly in the media, the content was perceived to be taboo for young audiences. Developing School Ball investigated the complex relationships between TYA and the education system, as well as artistic and production strategies to navigate School Ball past school gatekeepers and reach its target audience.
Young people are at the centre of the research practice, participating in workshops, collaborating with artists, and responding to the work. Their involvement helped make School Ball accurately reflect adolescent experiences, such as the centrality of text messaging – another taboo in the school environment.
Australian TYA is considered to be at the forefront of international practice: innovative in creative process and theatrical form, imaginative and daring in content. But TYA practice is neither homogenous nor self-contained. In artistic practice, means of production and competition for audiences, TYA intersects with Theatre in Education (TIE), Young People’s Theatre (YPT), drama education, adult and commercial theatre. Part of the research aimed to understand the TYA landscape and the place of School Ball within it.

Texto completoResumen
Suicide attempt and completion rates are significantly higher for the transgender and gender-nonconforming (TGNC) population. TGNC adolescents experience many challenges and adversities, which are compounded when they live in rural communities. The lived experiences of rural TGNC adolescents with social media were unknown and created a gap in the research. This study was grounded in transgender, gender minority stress, and resiliency theories, along with the conceptual frameworks of rural communities and grit. The purpose of this descriptive phenomenological qualitative research study was to explore the lived experiences of rural TGNC individuals (18-24-year-olds) with social media during adolescence. Data was collected through a brief online survey and face-to-face interviews with 9 participants. Interviews were recorded and transcribed. Data analysis included clustering of themes into textual and structural descriptions, as described by Giorgi. Results explored the lived experience and the essence of social media for rural TGNC adolescents. Rural TGNC adolescents reported emotional awareness and insight with both positive and negative aspects of social media, along with frustration and isolation. These results and implications may inform mental health professionals and providers about the social media experiences of rural TGNC adolescents, including how to incorporate these findings, better serve the rural TGNC population, and increase grit. These findings were also a voice for a hidden population of TGNC individuals living in rural communities during adolescence.

This chapter explores the ways in which sexuality development during adolescence sets the stage for sexuality development in emerging adulthood. Sexual experiences and perceptions constructed within adolescence set in motion trajectories that will continue into emerging adult development. This chapter discusses the implications of adolescent experiences with sexual activity, sexual risk, parent–adolescent relationships, and trauma on the development of sexuality in emerging adulthood, while keeping in mind the diverse experiences of adolescents of varying identities. This is followed by implications and suggestions for future research. Understanding the connections between adolescent and emerging adult sexuality can provide a more nuanced view of sexuality development in emerging adulthood.

Much prior research acknowledges that peers influence adolescents’ sexual behaviors. Yet few studies have explored whether and how peers influence sexual decision making among emerging adults, especially among those in committed intimate partnerships, while also accounting for dynamics specific to the intimate relationship and respondents’ sociodemographic characteristics. Drawing on longitudinal data from the Toledo Adolescent Relationships Study, this report examined multiple aspects of peer influence on three different sexual behaviors among emerging adults: sexual non-exclusivity, number of casual sex partners, and lifetime number of sex partners. It was found that having more sexually liberal peers and peers who engaged in criminal activity significantly influenced emerging adults’ self-reported numbers of casual and lifetime sex partners, as well as the frequency of engagement in sexually non-exclusive behaviors among those in committed dating, cohabiting, and marital partnerships. This report discusses potential theoretical mechanisms linking these relationships and provides suggestions for future research.

The adolescent period presents a unique and challenging time for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Common psychiatric problems such as mood disorder, anxiety, ADHD, and disruptive behaviors commonly co-occur in adolescents with ASD. Other clinical considerations such as sleep difficulties, catatonia, sexuality and related behaviors, gender identity, and adaptive and vocational skill issues are also prominent in the adolescent period. Research suggests that there are effective drug and non-drug treatment options available for these commonly co-occurring psychiatric challenges. In this chapter, we describe the clinical presentation and both drug and non-drug treatment options for each condition, as well as review the other unique clinical considerations in the treatment of adolescents with ASD.

Utilizing sensitive methodology for gender and sexual minority (GSM) individuals is important across all psychological fields. This tutorial provides tangible recommendations for non-experts, offers a “real-world” example of issues that might arise, informs researchers how to make theoretically/methodologically rigorous decisions when (not if) they arise, and discusses the collective impact of GSM identities on the central research question. It presents exploratory comparisons on acute affective responding between community-recruited adolescent (aged 15–17 years) and emerging adult (aged 18–25 years) cisgender and gender minority (GM) participants exposed to simulated peer rejection. These data provide points of divergence (e.g., GM participants had higher negative affect at the first assessment) and convergence (e.g., all participants reported greater negative affect post-rejection) that have implications for future research.

Background: Interest to the opposite sex is one changing that is happened in adolescence. Dating behavior of adolescents can be the beginning of premarital sex that will impact on the emergence of adolescent reproductive health problems such as unintended pregnancy and STDs/HIV/AIDS. The purpose of this study was to give description of factors related to dating behavior of early adolescents in North Coastal line, West Java. Subject and Methods: Type of this research was descriptive analytic with cross sectional design. The research was conducted in Pusakajaya Public Junior High School 1 and 2, Subang Regency. Population of this study was all of students at class VII in the selected schools. Sample of the study determined by purposive sampling technique with criteria the students ever had a lover or currently they were having a boyfriend/girlfriend. Number of respondents were 269 students. Data collection was done by interview using questionnaire as a tool. Data was reviewed using univariate and bivariate analysis. Results: Results of this study showed that 36,8% of the respondent had risky dating behavior, 25,7% did not live with their parent, 57,2% of them had low religiosity,74,7% had lack of knowledge in sexuality, 47,6% had negative attitude toward risky dating, 53,9% ever accessed pornography content and 48,3% had friend with risky dating behavior. Using Chi Square test to analyze showed that factors related to risky dating behavior were low religiosity (OR=44,68 ;95%CI=15,65 to 127,56; p=0,000), lack of knowledge (OR=14,34; 95%CI=5,03 to 40,87; p=0,000), negative attitude (OR=34,73; 95%CI=16,01 to 75,35; p=0,000), accessed pornography content (OR=79.02; 95%CI=23,89 to 261,33; p=0,000) and negative behavior of friends (OR=201,3 ;95%CI=47,19 to 859,04; p=0,000). Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between religiosity, knowledge, attitude, access to pornography content and dating behavior of friends with risky dating behavior.

Background: Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) plays an important role in preparing safe and productive lives of adolescents through understanding about HIV/ AIDS, sexually transmitted infections, unintended pregnancy, gender-based violence, and gender disparity. This scoping review aimed to investigate the appropriate method of sex education and information for adolescents. Subjects and Method: A scoping review method was conducted in eight stages including (1) Identification of study problems; (2) Determining priority problem and study question; (3) Determining framework; (4) Literature searching; (5) Article selection; (6) Critical appraisal; (7) Data extraction; and (8) Mapping. The research question was identified using population, exposure, and outcome(s) (PEOS) framework. The search included PubMed, ScienceDirect, Wiley Online Library, ProQuest, and EBSCO databases. The inclusion criteria were English-language and full-text articles published between 2009 and 2019. A total of 460 articles was obtained from the searched database. After the review process, twenty articles were eligible for this review. The data were reported by the PRISMA flow chart. Results: Eleven articles from developing countries (Nigeria, Thailand, Iran, California, Vietnam, Spain, South Africa, Indonesia) and nine articles from developed countries (USA, England, Australia) met the inclusion criteria with quantitative (cross-sectional, quasi-experiments, cohort, RCT) and qualitative design studies. The findings discussed available sources of sex education for adolescents including peers, school, media, and other adults. Digital media (internet and TV) contributed as preferable sources for adolescents. The parents and teacher’s involvement in providing sex education remained inadequate. Inappropriate sources of sex education like invalid information from the internet and other adults caused negative consequences on the sexual and reproductive health of children and adolescents. Conclusion: Parents-school partnership strategies play an important role in delivering appropriate information about sex education for children and adolescents.

Introduction: According to the Brazilian Ministry of Health, priority populations are composed of adolescents and young adults, people of color, homeless people, and indigenous communities and fragile groups that are more vulnerable to HIV/AIDS. Contrary to the global downward trend in the number of new HIV cases, the Brazilian priority groups show increasing rates. Therefore, the importance of HIV/AIDS prevention and informational campaigns focused on these groups is important. Objective: This study aims to perform a documental research on the national HIV/AIDS prevention campaigns to determine which ones focused on priority populations. Methods: This analysis was based on data from publicity pieces of HIV/AIDS prevention campaigns from 1998 to 2020. The search and examination of these campaigns were conducted on the Brazilian Department of Chronic Conditions Diseases and Sexually Transmitted Infections of the Ministry of Health website. Results: From a total of 85 promoted campaigns in the period, only 9 had the adolescent and young adult population as the target audience, despite the increase in AIDS detection rate in these groups. Furthermore, none of them focused on the other priority groups nor presented information about combination HIV prevention. Conclusion: The data evidence the need for elaborating more HIV/ AIDS prevention campaigns to reach priority populations. Actions aiming to inform and protect these groups, as well as making prevention and treatment methods easily accessible, are key for fighting HIV/AIDS spread and ensuring a healthy future.

Background: Sexual minority students are at risk for adverse outcomes associated with substance use and violence. The vast majority of research literature, however, has focused on university students and alcohol consumption. There is an increased need to understand the distinct vulnerabilities of youth who have a non-heterosexual sexual orientation, and marijuana use as more state legalize and normalize the recreational use of marijuana in various forms. This study examines marijuana use and sexual victimization among high school students by sexual minority status. Methods: We analyzed data from 9th (n=50,973) and 11th (n=41,692) graders who participated in the California Healthy Kids Survey during the 2018-2019 school year. Students were asked to report their sexual identity and orientation (‘straight,’ ‘gay/lesbian,’ ‘bisexual,’ ‘something else,’ ‘I am not sure yet’, ‘decline to respond’), whether they had ever been sexually assaulted, marijuana use in their lifetime and past 30 days, and demographic characteristics. We conducted multi-level logistic regression analysis to assess relationships between lifetime and past-30-day marijuana use, sexual minority status and sexual victimization (SV). Analyses were performed using Stata, version 15.1. Results: The initial model indicated that the interaction terms for sexual minority status and sexual assault were not significantly associated with lifetime and past 30-day marijuana use. Analyses without the interaction terms suggest that students who identify as gay or lesbian, and who selected ‘I am not sure yet’ and ‘something else’ had higher odds of reporting past-30-day marijuana use than their ‘straight’ peers (OR=1.50 p<0.01 95%CI: 1.15, 1.96; OR=1.34 p<0.01 95%CI: 1.20, 1.50; OR=2.33 p<0.01 95%CI: 2.11, 2.59). Results also suggested that students who identified as gay or lesbian, bisexual, and students who selected ‘something else’ as their sexual orientation had higher odds to report lifetime marijuana use than their ‘straight’ peers (OR=1.90 p<0.01 95%CI: 1.43, 2.52; OR=1.45 p<0.05 95%CI: 1.03, 2.04; OR=1.57 p<0.01 95%CI: 1.29, 1.92). However, students who declined to respond about their sexuality are less likely to report lifetime marijuana use than their ‘straight’ peers (OR=0.82 p<0.05 95%CI: .68, .99) Additionally, students who reported sexual assault have almost six times higher odds of reporting lifetime and past-30-day and lifetime marijuana use (OR=6.68 p<0.01 95%CI: 3.99, 11.20; OR=6.03 p<0.01 95%CI: 3.80, 9.56). Overall, students who are in 11th grade, are male, and Hispanic have higher odds of reporting marijuana use. Conclusion: Overall, risks of marijuana use tend to be more pronounced among sexual minority students who have experienced sexual violence. Our findings suggest that students who identified as ‘something else’ may be at particular risk. These results are congruent with prior research on college populations that have identified undergraduate students who are bisexual and unsure of their sexual identity at heightened risk for SA. Greater efforts are needed to examine the intersection of substance use and sexual victimization and the disproportionate burden facing adolescents across multiple categories of sexual orientation.

Khan, Ayesha. Adolescents and reproductive health in Pakistan: A literature review. Population Council, 2000. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh2000.1042.
Texto completoResumen
This report reviews research and findings on adolescents and reproductive health in Pakistan. The material is drawn from a range of national surveys and medical research, as well as information gathered by nongovernmental organizations. Although adolescents make up a quarter of the population of Pakistan, they are still a new subject for research. The characterization of adolescents for this review is individuals ages 10–19, whether or not they are married, sexually active, or parents. The discussion of the research material is based on the assumption that adolescence is a developmental phase, a transition from childhood to adulthood. Basic data on education, employment, and reproductive health among adolescents shows that they are not receiving adequate schooling and capability building to equip them for the future. Due to their relative youth, lack of decision-making power, and incomplete personal development, adolescents are ill equipped to handle the reproductive health burden they face. Policies and programs, as well as legal provisions, do not protect adolescents and need to be designed to meet the needs of adolescents without disrupting their development into adults.

Moore, Kirsten y Debbie Rogow. Family planning and reproductive health: Briefing sheets for a gender analysis. Population Council, 1994. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh1994.1011.
Texto completoResumen
This series of briefing sheets, developed by the Population Council, represents a starting point for the application of gender to the family planning (FP) and reproductive health (RH) arena. The information covers five key areas of RH: gender-based abuse, FP and gender issues among adolescents, sexuality and FP, men’s and women’s social and economic responsibilities for childrearing, and the complicated nexus between gender and FP/RH. In so doing, it provides a strong foundation for gender training. This concept was first developed to fulfill a need for gender training within the regional Operations Research/Technical Assistance Projects. To date, two such workshops have been funded by USAID. These activities not only reflect a clear commitment by USAID to the inclusion of gender in all aspects of programmatic planning and implementation but also to the empowerment of women in every phase of the development process. This tool will help guide program planners and policymakers toward making gender equity in FP and RH programs a reality for both women and men.

South Africa: Providers should encourage sexually active youth to use condoms. Population Council, 2001. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh2001.1028.
Texto completoResumen
To assess the effectiveness of youth centers in reaching adolescents with reproductive health information, life skills, and services, the Reproductive Health Research Unit in KwaZulu Natal and the Population Council conducted an assessment of 12 youth centers and their affiliated peer education programs. The centers were run by the KwaZulu Natal Department of Health, the loveLife program, and the Youth and Adolescent Reproductive Health Program. Researchers also examined young people’s use of condoms as protection against pregnancy and HIV/AIDS. Data sources for this study, conducted in 2000, were an inventory of youth center services, interviews with center staff and clients, service statistics, and community surveys of 1,399 young people aged 12–24 and their parents. As noted in this brief, the study found that many sexually active young people in South Africa are knowledgeable about the sexual transmission of HIV/AIDS but do not use condoms consistently. Service providers can do more to promote condom use among youth by placing condom dispensers in private places and counseling youth on correct condom use and safer sexual practices.

Study of adolescents: Dynamics of perception, attitude, knowledge and use of reproductive health care. Population Council, 1997. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/pgy1997.1000.
Texto completoResumen
Knowledge, perceptions, and behavior related to reproductive health (RH) and sexual matters underlie all the conditions that family planning/maternal and child health (FP/MCH) programs address, thus these are important issues for FP researchers, population policymakers, and service providers. To achieve significant levels of fertility or mortality declines, participation of adolescents in reproductive health programs, including FP/MCH, is essential. Studies focusing on sexuality and attitudes of adolescents on RH, and the interacting influences of family, community, and the social sector developmental programs (health, FP/MCH, education, women’s development) would give useful revelations. This report presents findings from a study that was designed to conduct in-depth research on adolescents’ attitudes, perceptions, and behavior on sexuality and RH in selected urban and rural settings of Bangladesh.

South Africa: Who uses youth centers and why? Population Council, 2001. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh2001.1029.
Texto completoResumen
In 2000, the Reproductive Health Research Unit in KwaZulu Natal and the Population Council conducted an assessment of 12 youth centers and 7 affiliated peer education programs. The 12 centers, located in urban, peri-urban, and rural areas, offer very different services. The two centers of the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Health focus on providing reproductive health (RH) information and services to adolescents. The six centers of the Youth and Adolescent Reproductive Health Project provide a broader range of youth-friendly RH services, including counseling and life skills education, as well as modest recreational activities. The four centers run by loveLife have large multipurpose facilities with a wide range of recreational activities, vocational and life skills training, and RH services. This brief states that less than one-third of local youth have ever visited the youth centers in this study area of South Africa. More than half of the youth center visitors were sexually experienced but visiting a center had little discernible effect on RH knowledge or safer sexual behavior. Youth want friendly, nonjudgmental providers; youth-only facilities and young providers are less important.

Seminar on male involvement in reproductive health in Egypt: Summary of research findings and future directions. Population Council, 1998. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh1998.1011.
Texto completoResumen
As more work in the area of male involvement in reproductive health (RH) is expected in Egypt, it is important that researchers and donor agencies become aware of existing studies, topics covered, and main research findings so duplication can be avoided. It is also important that policymakers and program managers learn about the results of existing studies so they can use those results in designing more effective policies to increase male involvement in Egypt. To address this need, the Population Council’s ANE OR/TA Project organized a seminar on “Disseminating Results of Research on Male Involvement in Reproductive Health in Egypt” held on May 4–5, 1998, in Alexandria. Participants included key researchers, program managers, policymakers, and donors. The two-day meeting included plenary sessions as well as discussion groups. The main themes were husband-wife communication and decision-making about FP/RH, perceptions of sexuality, involving men as partners in RH, RH needs of adolescents, and future directions in programs and research to increase male involvement in RH. This report is a summary of the presentations along with comments and suggestions that were made on each topic.
