“…Finally, some community-level comprehensive prevention approaches, whether or not explicitly directed at sexual health, have been associated with reduced STDs (Feinberg, Jones, Greenberg, Osgood, & Bontempo, 2010; Hawkins, Kosterman, Catalano, Hill, & Abbott, 2008). We suggest that combinations of approaches help place sexual health interventions appropriately in the overall context of prevention, health promotion and individual well-being (Ivankovic et al, 2013). …”

“…In this paper, we examine the extent to which interventions based on a positively-framed and holistic definition of sexual health (e.g., Douglas & Fenton, 2013; Ivankovic, Fenton, & Douglas, 2013) have effects in domains relevant to sexual health and public health. These domains (Figure 1) were drawn from a 2010 consultation on sexual health and public health at CDC and are: the intrapersonal (1) knowledge, (2) attitudes, norms, intentions and self-efficacy; the interpersonal (3) negotiation and communication, (4) healthcare use, (5) sexual behavior; and (6) adverse health outcomes (e.g., STD, unintended pregnancy).…”

Recent work has explored the intersection between sexual health (as construed by the World Health Organization and others) and public health domains of action in the United States of America. This paper reports the narrative results of a systematic review of sexual health intervention effects on public health-relevant outcomes. To qualify, interventions had to be based on the principles: (1) that sexual health is intrinsic to individuals and their overall health and (2) that relationships reflecting sexual health must be positive for all parties concerned. Outcomes were classed in domains: knowledge, attitudes, communication, healthcare use, sexual behavior and adverse events. We summarized data from 58 studies (English language, adult populations, 1996–2011) by population (adults, parents, sexual minorities, vulnerable populations) across domains. Interventions were predominantly individual and small-group designs that addressed sexual behaviors (72%) and attitudes/norms (55%). They yielded positive effects in that 98% reported a positive finding in at least one domain: 50% also reported null effects. The most consistently positive effects on behaviors and adverse events were found for sexual minorities, vulnerable populations, and parental communication. Whether via direct action or through partnerships, incorporating principles from existing sexual health definitions in public health efforts may help improve sexual health.

“…In the United States, more than 1.1 million people are living with HIV infection, 0.8 to 1.4 million have chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, and 2.7 to 3.9 million have chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. 5 As a result, populations at highest risk for HIV transmissionVmen who have sex with men (MSM), injection drug users (IDUs), and certain subgroups of sexually active heterosexuals (especially those with low socioeconomic status [SES])Vare also disproportionately affected by STIs or viral hepatitis. 4 HIV, other STIs, and viral hepatitis are syndemics and share common routes of transmission.…”

“…Increases in intimate partner violence were reported following the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines (1991), after Hurricane Mitch in Nicaragua (1998), and after the Loma Prieta earthquake in the United States (1989) [16]. The South Asian tsunami in 2004 brought to light the differential impact of the disaster on women and men, as evidenced in the greater number of deaths of women due to restrictive social roles and disadvantages in terms of access to resources [17]. Therefore, if the access to the STIs prevention, treatment, care and support is not addressed and ensured, the vulnerabilities and health insecurity including STIs would increase during emergencies and disasters.…”

Background: Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) issues often get less priority than other aspects of humanitarian health response in emergencies and disasters. We aimed to explore the men’s perceptions of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), men’s involvement, and barriers to STIs prevention among men in the affected area by Merapi eruption 2010. Methods: The study used qualitative content analysis. Data were collected through face-to-face in-depth interviews with 2 participants living with STIs and focus on group discussions with 22 participants who witnessed Merapi eruption 2010 from December 2016 to March 2017 in Sleman District, the Special Region of Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia, including academicians, community leaders and community health workers. Results: Participants from the disaster site were mostly senior high school graduates aged between 33 and 46 years. Four themes developed from fourteen categories that represented the men’s perceptions of STIs, men’s involvement, and barriers to the STIs prevention among men in the affected area by Merapi eruption 2010, were revealed from the investigation. Conclusion: Low participation of men in STIs prevention has led to poor SRH outcomes among women. Nurses have a main role in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) to enhance the awareness and understanding of people in preparedness for future disasters. Thus, it is necessary for nurses and other health professionals involved in DRR to optimize coordination with community leaders, community health volunteers (health cadres), and other stakeholders to prevent the transmission of communicable diseases in the community.
