Abstract:
AbstractBirth order may foster specific roles for individuals within the family and set in train a dynamic that influences the development of specific behaviors. In this paper, we explored the relationship between birth order, sex, timing of sexual initiation, and its consequences for risky sexual behavior and sexual health. We conducted a path analysis to simultaneously estimate direct and indirect effects using data from the National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (NATSAL-3). Whereas women born as only-children were more likely to sexually debut at later ages, middle-child boys were significantly more prone to initiate sexual intercourse earlier compared with first-borns. As expected, early sexual initiation was associated with riskier behaviors and sexual health outcomes. These associations were partially moderated by siblings role as confidants about sexuality. Our findings have implications for preventive programs aimed at promoting healthy sexual debuts and behaviors over the life span.

Abstract:
KRR AS A PROGRAM FOR DEVELOPING HEALTHY SEXUAL BEHAVIOR IN INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION 4.0. Adolescents are in a transition period characterized by drastic physical changes, psychological instability, and adjustment of new social environments. The era of industrial revolution 4.0, which was marked by the acceleration of information and digitalization of life increasingly added to the challenges of adolescents to be able to achieve the task of sexual development. When adolescents fail to carry out their sexual development tasks, they can have negative implications for adolescent sexual behavior. Understanding and awareness of adolescent reproductive health (KRR) can be an alternative in developing healthy and responsible sexual behavior. This study aims to test KRR as a mode of intervention to develop healthy sexual behavior in adolescents. The research method uses a mixed-method by combining quantitative and qualitative data that supports each other. The research population of tenth-grade high school students was 250 students with a sample of 30 people. Purposive sampling technique by considering the pretest score on the average class is taken into consideration in the selection of samples—data collection by providing a scale of sexual behavior, observation, and interviews. The results of the study show: (1) in general the sexual behavior of students is at a level of caution towards the need for development; (2) The KRR consists of nine guidance content with an audio-visual based group guidance strategy; and (3) the KRR program is effective in developing healthy sexual behavior in adolescents.

Abstract:
Development and preservation of reproductive potential is the actual practical direction of national health care. There are presented results of the medical examination of the child population of St. Petersburg, there are noted gender-age features of somatic, urological and gynecological pathology in adolescents. The effectiveness of medical and social system of the care of adolescent reproductive health was established to manifest by the increased their interest and demand for special consultative structures, the decrease in the number of abortions and sexually transmitted infections. Primary health care activities of youth consultation specialists in conjunction with the teaching teams on moral and sexual education and shaping of healthy lifestyle provide the reduction in the level of risk sexual behavior of adolescents and the improvement of their medical activity. There was shown the necessity of the further improvement of the system of medical and social care for adolescents for the prevention of unwanted pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, bad habits and shaping of healthy lifestyle skills.

Abstract:
ObjectivesSexual health includes pleasurable, safe, sexual experiences free from coercion, discrimination and violence. In the UK, many young people’s experiences fall short of this definition. This study aimed to inform the development of a safer sex and healthy relationships intervention for those aged 16–19 years studying in further education (FE) settings.DesignA formative mixed-method multicase study explored if and how to implement four components within a single intervention.SettingSix FE settings in England and Wales and one sexual health charity participated between October and July 2015.ParticipantsFocus groups with 134 FE students and 44 FE staff, and interviews with 11 FE managers and 12 sexual health charity staff, first explored whether four candidate intervention components were acceptable and could have sustained implementation. An e-survey with 2105 students and 163 staff then examined potential uptake and acceptability of components shortlisted in the first stage. Stakeholder consultation was then used to refine the intervention.InterventionInformed by a review of evidence of effective interventions delivered in other settings, four candidate intervention components were identified which could promote safer sex and healthy relationships among those aged 16–19 years: 1) student-led sexual health action groups; 2) on-site sexual health and relationships services; 3) staff safeguarding training about sexual health and relationships and 4) sex and relationships education.ResultsOn-site sexual health and relationships services and staff safeguarding training about sexual health and relationships were key gaps in current FE provision and welcomed by staff, students and health professionals. Sex and relationships education and student-led sexual health action groups were not considered acceptable.ConclusionsThe SaFE intervention, comprising on-site sexual health and relationships services and staff safeguarding training in FE settings, may have potential promoting sexual health among FE students. Further optimisation and refinement with key stakeholders is required before piloting via cluster randomised controlled trial.

Abstract:
Focus groups show that young men do not have available to them the same resources to learn about healthy sexual development as do young women. A collaborative project led by a leading provider of sexuality education aimed to reach young men with information about healthy sexual development by using a genre that focus groups showed they favoured – vulgar comedy. This project raised two important issues. First, comedy is ambivalent – it is by definition not serious or worthy. This challenges health communication, which traditionally favours the clear presentation of correct information. Second, vulgarity can be challenging to the institutions of health communication, which can be concerned that it is inappropriate or offensive. This article addresses these issues and reports on the materials that emerged from the project.

Abstract:
The current special issue highlights a number of culturally relevant variables that relate to sexual risk in early adolescents from minority race or ethnic backgrounds. Each of the four studies in this issue presents a unique perspective on factors that relate to increased risk or resilience in minority early adolescents. Therefore, findings reported in this special issue shed light on potential intervention strategies to deter the development of sexual risk in minority youth. The articles presented suggest a need for increased attention to early adolescence as a window of opportunity for preventing sexual risk in minority teens. Effective interventions during the transition from middle to high school, when dating and sexual interests emerge for most youth, have the potential to cultivate healthy relationships and prevent the development of health compromising sexual behaviors.

Abstract:
The present research aimed to address two questions. First, is dating anxiety associated with sexual intimacy anxiety? Second, do young people who report harmful sexual behaviour, as an offence or harmful dating behaviour, have higher levels of dating and sexual intimacy anxiety than young people who report no harm, non-sexual harm or sexual and non-sexual harm (generalists)? The Dating Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (DAS-A) was used to measure overall dating anxiety. Questions relating DAS-A sub-factors fear of negative evaluation and social distress - dating were amended to measure sexual intimacy anxiety. A scale to measure partnership anxiety and sexual behaviour anxiety were designed. Participants were 77 young people aged 13 to 18 years (M = 15.4, SD = 1.41). Forty-five (58%) of participants were female and 32 (42%) participants were male. Results found a strong, significant association between higher levels of dating anxiety and higher levels of sexual intimacy anxiety r(75) = .80, p < .001. Young people who reported a sexual offence had significantly higher sexual behaviour anxiety than non-sexual offence (M = 15.82, SD = 6.23, p = .005) and generalist offence groups (M = 21.77, SD = 6.53, p = .044). Despite no other significant differences, a pattern emerged that suggests young people who report harmful sexual or generalist dating behaviour may have higher dating and sexual intimacy anxieties. Furthermore, young people who report harmful dating behaviour may have higher anxieties than young people who report an offence. The implications of the findings for future harmful sexual behaviour and harmful dating behaviour research and practice are discussed.

Abstract:
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.

This M.S. report provides an evaluative review of research on parental influences on adolescent sexual decision-making. Data show that a significant proportion of never-married female and male teens (ages 15-19) have had sexual intercourse at least once. Adolescent decisions on sexuality and possible consequences such as pregnancy or sexually-transmitted diseases may have profound personal and social impacts. Theoretical and empirical domains of parental influence are reviewed, including communication, morality, family structure and context, parental control, as well as the role of media. This review shows that adolescent sexuality has changed over time due to socio-historical factors and that parents continue to have an influence on their children’s decision-making abilities. Implications for applied professionals and researchers are discussed.

Abstract:
Sexual health risk-taking behaviour is typically initiated during adolescence and continues throughout teenage years and early adulthood at higher levels than at other life stages. For some groups (e.g. deprived and vulnerable populations) the risks can be greater still. Risk behaviours in early youth are related to increased rates of risk-taking and the adoption of multiple risk behaviours in early adulthood. Prevention interventions implemented early on are shown to be most effective at preventing or reducing the poor health outcomes associated with risk-behaviours. Policies and prevention interventions are informed by current data showing patterns of risk behaviour, identification of emerging behaviour, factors associated with these behaviours and evidence of intervention prevention effectiveness. This submission presents a linking commentary which summarises and critiques a series of peer reviewed publications, supported by additional publications, all of which were carried out during my employment at Liverpool John Moores University. Studies have identified key factors affecting sexual development and associated behaviour; associations between sexual and other behaviours, such as alcohol behaviours; and the relationship between social and well-being factors and sexual behaviours in adolescents and young people. Studies also evaluate public health initiatives and review public health evidence of intervention effectiveness. These studies have contributed to understanding sexual development and its impact on behaviours during the life course; have highlighted the health service and education needs of young people; and have identified effective interventions and intervention components to inform national guidance, public health policy and intervention development.

Abstract:
This study aims to analyse policy and political processes at multiple levels, and examine the consequences for Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) care development arising from the engagement of a participatory movement in Peru. I used Associations of Local Community of Health Administration (CLAS) as a core organisation for Peru’s major participatory model at local level. With policy makers, NGOs, health workers and (potential) service users, I explored factors that facilitated/prevented women’s participation in decision-making mechanisms and health practices. I employed a case study and multi-disciplinary approach at national, regional and local levels, focused upon women from multiple aspects in Andean Peru. I studied rural, periurban CLAS and non-CLAS models to compare across the case studies. I conducted semi-structured in-depth interviews with 116 respondents, unstructured observation, and documentary analysis in 2004. My analytical frameworks focused upon: ‘policy content’, ‘context’, ‘actors’, ‘process’, ‘patterns of participation’, and ‘outcomes and impacts’. Political, economic, legal and technical were identified which reflected the stagnant state of the development of SRH and CLAS policies. The central policy focuses on a narrow sense of SRH care, and neglects Reproductive Tract Infections (RTIs). Central government’s weak political leadership and stewardship to CLAS policies reflected that personal leadership (e.g. regional health directors) can define the destiny of regional CLAS development. Facilitating factors were led by NGOs and mixed factors were led by donors. CLAS appeared to create favourable conditions/environment for women’s participation in the community. Local respondents in the CLAS system understood the importance of participation to solve local problems compared to their non-CLAS system counterparts. Nevertheless, women in CLAS model had no influence on changes of SRH agenda, despite difficulties in the acquisition of contraceptives and effective RTIs medicines. The following actors must be incorporated into the decision-making and evaluation/feedback mechanisms in CLAS model to achieve more gender, age-gentle, and ethnically-sensitive Local Health Programmes and strengthen a rights- and trust-based approach: women’s Grassroots organisations, Defence Committees of Women’s Rights, Community Health Agents, Committees of Communal Development or Health (CODECOS)/(COSACOS), and traditional health providers. Alternative relationships (e.g. rapprochement) between CLAS and government authorities must be sought.

Abstract:
Due to an increase in malaria control programs in the last decade, the world has witnessed dramatic reductions in the number of infections and deaths caused by the malaria parasite. With malaria eradication on the global health agenda, a shift toward transmission-focused research has led to a renewed focus on a previously neglected stage of malaria: the sexual stage (gametocyte). Malaria's sexual stages are the only stages in the human host that are transmitted to the mosquito vector, and are therefore of critical importance for blocking transmission of this devastating disease. The process through which developing gametocytes sequester outside of the bloodstream during their 8-10 day maturation is not well understood and stands to be exploited as a potential target for therapeutic intervention. In Chapter 1, we discuss the current state of knowledge on the development of these stages in the human host. In Chapter 2, we investigate anatomical enrichment sites for developing gametocytes in the human host using autopsy tissue from cases of fatal malaria. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR-based assessments identified the bone marrow as a preferential enrichment site of developing gametocytes. Co-localization with host proteins revealed the enrichment of gametocytes inside the extravascular space of the bone marrow, often observed in contact with erythroblastic island structures. In vitro experiments with erythrocyte precursor cells, as well as in vivo co-localization studies demonstrated that gametocytes can develop within the cells of the hematopoietic system of the bone marrow. In Chapter 3, we present an assay and analysis tool for inferring the presence of young and mature asexual and sexual stages in the peripheral blood of infected patients based on gene expression data. We apply this assay to malaria patient cohorts and in vitro drug perturbation time course experiments, and demonstrate its use in identifying young and mature gametocyte carriers, as well as characterizing the effect of a given perturbation on parasite development. This body of work aims to contribute to the overall knowledge base for malaria’s elusive gametocytes as well as to establish tools for performing future assessments on these transmissible stages.

Abstract:
Each year an estimated one billion children (one out of two children worldwide) suffer some form of physical, sexual or psychological violence or neglect (Hillis, Mercy, Amobi, & Kress, 2016). Being a victim of violence in childhood has lifelong impacts on education, health, and well-being. Exposure to violence can lead to poor academic performance due to cognitive, emotional, and social problems (WHO, 2019). The right of the child to freedom from all forms of violence is affirmed by the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child, in its General Comment No. 13 (UNCRC, 2011). Moreover, the Sustainable Development Goals contain a clear call to eliminate violence against children, most explicitly in Target 16.2 (UN, 2015). Many efforts have been made globally to achieve these goals. Schools have been identified as one of the crucial contexts for conducting violence prevention efforts. They offer an important space where children, teachers and educators can learn and adopt pro-social behaviors that can contribute to preventing violence (WHO, et al., 2016). Teachers can play a key role, helping to build a “violence-free world” (UNESCO, WHO, UNICEF, End Violence Against Children, 2020), both by promoting positive relationships and by identifying signs of violence early. In fact, while international strategies provide a necessary framework for the promotion and protection of children's rights, it is the people who can make a difference in the prevention and detection of violence against children (Biffi, 2018). Based on these premises, the paper will focus on how teacher training can help prevent, report and address violence against children. Teachers are often not trained on this: some of them know the contents, but have doubts about how to deal with certain situations. Teachers should learn what to do with students who have gone through a traumatic experience because children choose someone who can see and recognize them (Miller, 1979, En. transl. 1995; Miller, 1980, En. transl. 1983). To be able to really recognize the child, a training course with teachers is necessary, to raise awareness and help them see the signals that children send (The Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action, End Violence Against Children, UNICEF, WHO, 2020). This paper, through literature and presentation of a training course with teachers in Italy, will offer a pedagogical reflection on teacher training in the prevention, reporting and addressing of violence against children, in order to start building a common shared strategy.

Full text
Abstract:
This brief is based on a paper prepared for the WHO/UNFPA/Population Council Technical Consultation on Married Adolescents, held in Geneva, Switzerland, December 9–12, 2003. The consultation brought together experts from the United Nations, donors, and nongovernmental agencies to consider the evidence regarding married adolescent girls’ reproductive health, vulnerability to HIV infection, social and economic disadvantage, and rights. The relationships to major policy initiatives—including safe motherhood, HIV, adolescent sexual and reproductive health, and reproductive rights—were explored, and emerging findings from the still relatively rare programs that are directed at this population were discussed. Despite the program attention and funding that have been devoted to adolescents, early marriage and married adolescents have fallen largely outside of the field’s concern. Comprising the majority of sexually active adolescent girls in developing countries, this large and vulnerable subpopulation has received neither program and policy consideration in the adolescent sexual and reproductive health field, nor special attention from reproductive health and development programs for adult women. While adolescent girls, irrespective of marital status, are vulnerable in many settings and deserve program, policy, and resource support, the purpose of this brief is to describe the distinctive and often disadvantaged situations of married girls and to propose possible future policy and program options.

Full text
Abstract:
This annotated bibliography synthesises evidence on interventions to limit discrimination and abuse against people who are LGBTQi. In general, development agencies have strong commitments to LGBTQi rights in their strategy and policy documents. However, they avoid addressing LGBTQi rights directly through programming. Historically, international donor support for LGBTQi rights has been channelled through health programmes (especially those related to sexual health or HIV/AIDS) and democracy and governance support programmes. Recently, there is a trend towards integrating LGBTQi rights across a broader set of development programmes under the auspices of “leave no one behind”. The literature notes some barriers that undermine the extent to which international development interventions or programmes can address discrimination against LGBTQi persons. One of the barriers includes LGBTQi rights are still not viewed as a development priority but as a controversy in some settings, leading embassies to be hesitant to engage with them. Limited data and understanding of the various issues that are categorised as LGBTQi curtail the extent to which these issues can be integrated with other development programmes. The literature also observes that prejudice among staff at all levels in development agencies undermines their willingness to engage with LGBTQi rights and issues.

Tuko Pamoja: A guide for talking with young people about their reproductive health. Population Council, 2005. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh16.1017.

Full text
Abstract:
This guide was developed for public health technicians working with the Ministry of Health as part of the Kenya Adolescent Reproductive Health Project Tuko Pamoja (We Are Together). It can be used by anyone wishing to broaden their understanding of adolescent reproductive health (RH) issues and improve communication with young people. Providing young people with support by talking with and listening to them as well as ensuring they have access to accurate information can help them understand the wide range of changes they are experiencing during adolescence. Although parents, teachers, religious and community leaders, and health-care providers are expected to educate adolescents about personal and physical development, relationships, and their roles in society, it may be difficult for them to do so in a comfortable and unbiased way. For these reasons, it is important to meet adolescents’ need for information and services. Adolescent RH education provides information about reproductive physiology and puberty; protective behavior; and the responsibilities and consequences that come with sexual activity. Providing young people with accurate RH information promotes sexual health and well-being, and supports healthy, responsible, and positive life experiences, as well as preventing disease and unintended pregnancy.

Nepal: Support communication to enhance young mothers' reproductive health. Population Council, 2005. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh16.1002.

Full text
Abstract:
From 2000 to 2003, FRONTIERS supported a study by the Center for Research on Environment, Health, and Population Activities to test communication-based models for improving young couples’ access to and use of reproductive health (RH) information and services in the Udaypur district of eastern Nepal. The 14-month intervention, undertaken as part of an RH project implemented by the Nepal Red Cross Society and the Center for Development and Population Activities, sought to improve social norms that leave young women vulnerable to health risks related to early marriage and childbearing and limited access to RH services. The study compared two experimental models with two control groups. The two experimental groups received training, assistance with group interaction, outreach, and educational materials about sexually transmitted infections and condom use. Researchers administered surveys to young married women in both the control and experimental sites before and after the intervention. As noted in this brief, communication-based support for mothers’ groups and newly formed youth communication groups improved RH knowledge and behavior among young married women in Nepal.
