“…Finally, an observational study that examined a sexual health intervention measured attitudes in self-efficacy and sexual violence (Shekar et al, 2020). This study found significant improvements in sexual self-efficacy and consent; even when disaggregated by gender, the treatment effect remained significant for boys and girls (Shekar et al, 2020).…”

“…Most studies described or evaluated a tertiary intervention ( n = 10), and few studies examined primary ( n = 2), or secondary ( n = 2) interventions (see Table 2 ). Half of the studies examined young women who were incarcerated, including in youth detention ( n = 6) ( Arnold et al, 2002 ; Emerson & Shelton, 2001 ; Middleton et al, 2019 ; Palidofsky & Stolbach, 2012 ; Roe-Sepowitz et al, 2009 ; Shekar et al, 2020 ) and in an adult county jail ( n = 1) ( Pomeroy et al, 2001 ). Two studies examined community-based samples, including young women who were released from detention ( n = 1) ( Harris & Malone, 2014 ) or on probation ( n = 1) ( Davidson et al, 2011 ).…”

Young women who have had contact with the criminal justice system (justice-involved young women) have an increased risk of being a victim of violence. However, no reviews have synthesized the evidence on interventions to prevent or respond to violence against justice-involved young women. We conducted a scoping review to identify interventions designed to prevent or respond to violence against justice-involved young women. We searched Medline, Criminal Justice Abstracts, Web of Science, and Google Scholar for peer-reviewed and gray literature published in English from January 1, 2000 until March 23, 2021. Consistent with the public health approach to violence, we included primary, secondary, and tertiary interventions. Excluding duplicates, our search returned 5,603 records, 14 of which met our inclusion criteria. We narratively synthesized the included studies, all of which were conducted in the United States. Most included studies examined a tertiary intervention ( n = 10), and few examined a primary (n = 2) or secondary ( n = 2) intervention. Across the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tools, the percentage of items met ranged from 0% to 78%. There was some limited evidence that tertiary interventions that included cognitive behavioral therapy reduced the mental health impacts of violence victimization among justice-involved young women. There was little evidence on primary and secondary interventions. Effective and evidence-based interventions to prevent violence victimization and revictimization against justice-involved young women remains a critical gap in knowledge.

“…A study by Miller et al showed that, in addition to having a positive impact on self-efficacy, health education programmes also had positive impacts on young people’s sexual autonomy ( 31 ). Increasing sexual self-efficacy can empower young people in many ways, including by enhancing their ability to refuse unwanted sexual intercourse ( 36 ). As our research found that young people who have higher levels of self-efficacy are less likely to have unwanted sexual relations, we can indirectly conclude that, given that it was effective in increasing self-efficacy, the programme also had a positive effect on increasing female students’ autonomy when deciding whether to have sexual intercourse or refusing to do so.…”

Introduction Studies have shown the importance of self-efficacy in the domain of risky sexual behaviour. The aim of this study was to examine the association of unwanted sexual intercourse among secondary-school students with socio-demographic factors and perceived self-efficacy, and to assess the effectiveness of the programme on reproductive health. Methods The study involved 5,026 second-grade students in 72 high schools in the Province of Vojvodina, Serbia (APV). They were surveyed before and after the implementation of the extracurricular ‘Reproductive health education programme for secondary-school students in APV’. A questionnaire consisting of 57 questions (socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviour of students regarding reproductive health, and a general self-efficacy scale) was used as the research instrument. Results One quarter of students had engaged in unwanted sexual intercourse on one or more occasions. Students with poor material status were twice as likely to engage in unwanted sexual intercourse (ОR=2.01; 95%CI=1.07–3.75) as students with average or good material status. Students who did not engage in unwanted sexual intercourse had a higher self-efficacy score than students who who did (t=2.903; p<0.01). After the programme was completed, there was an increase in general self-efficacy. Conclusion Poor material status is a predictor of unwanted sexual intercourse. Students who have a higher level of self-efficacy engaged to a lesser degree in unwanted sexual intercourse. The programme is effective in terms of increasing general self-efficacy, and can be applied to encourage responsible sexual behaviour.
