“…Oftentimes verbal and physical sexual harassment from classmates is dismissed or minimized by the teacher and school administrators because of the proliferation of the controlling image of Black girls generally being promiscuous (2020; Tonnesen, 2013). Black girls may internalize this controlling image which may influence the likelihood of them engaging in risky sexual behaviors (Opara et al, 2022) which increases the need for culturally responsive sexual health interventions for Black adolescent girls (Dorsey et al, 2022a). The media often plays a large role in perpetuating negative stereotypes regarding Black women during adolescence (Ward et al, 2005) and the awareness of negative stereotypes has detrimental consequences for Black women's health and well-being later in development (Jerald et al, 2017).…”

Purpose: Few interventions focus on the unique developmental contexts specific to Black adolescent girls living in the United States. This article conducts a scoping review to identify interventions targeted at the well-being of Black adolescent girls. Method: The authors conducted a comprehensive search using electronic databases to identify peer-reviewed journal articles that center interventions to address the well-being of Black adolescent girls. Results: Of the 3,144 unique records identified, eight peer-reviewed articles met the criteria for inclusion. Most interventions focused on issues related to sexual health ( n = 4), followed by interventions focusing on enhancing cultural values ( n = 3), and obesity prevention ( n = 1). Four interventions were both culturally and gender-responsive, three interventions were primarily culturally responsive, and one intervention was primarily gender-responsive with all articles focusing on Black girls’ well-being. Discussion: More interventions are needed that center on the distinct and intersectional challenges and strengths that Black adolescent girls experience within society.

The current study aims to explore the impact of social media platforms on sexual health and decision-making among young Black females. With the vast amount of information available through social media platforms, many lack restrictions that protect young females from harmful information. This study is necessary to understand how to intervene at the micro, meso, and macro level of Black adolescent female experiences, often characterized by stereotypical social scripts of hypersexuality. A qualitative research design was used to engage young Black females regarding sexual health knowledge and factors related to their decision-making processes. Building upon Braun and Clarke’s six-step thematic analysis process, which has been widely utilized and tested by Maquire and Delahunt, semi-structured interviews were used to explore the sexual health experiences of 27 young Black females ages 15 to 24. Four themes emerged: the broad landscape of sexual content on social media, motivation for engaging with sexual content online, the influence of social media, and mechanisms that influence sexual activity. Practitioners must propose policy changes that challenge the ill effects of social media engagement and promote optimal sexual health and positive youth development, specifically for young Black females.
