“…A negative association was found; adolescents with higher levels of parental monitoring reported lower levels of adolescent sexual risk behaviors. These findings are supported by prior research conducted by Lee et al (2014) and Nappi et al (2008), both of which emphasized the significant moderating impact of parental monitoring on sexual risk in adolescence.…”

“…In the current study, parental monitoring refers to the parent's knowledge of the adolescent's whereabouts and establishment of boundaries and rules which the adolescent must adhere to. There has been substantial research to support that parental monitoring is related to reducing risk behaviors in African American adolescents (Yang et al, 2007;Nappi et al, 2008;DiClemente, Crosby & Salzar, 2006 (Lee, Cintron & Kocher, 2014).…”

Directed by Dr. Stephanie Irby-Coard. 37 pp. Health disparities research has indicated that urban, low-income African-American adolescents experience ecological and contextual factors like community violence, socioeconomic status, and limited sexual health knowledge which contribute to high rates of sexual risk among urban African American adolescents. However, protective factors like parental monitoring and parent-adolescent communication about sex may decrease sexual risk among this urban teen population. A sample of 1,102 African American adolescents aged 13-17 from urban Midwestern high schools were included in this study. The current study hypothesized that: (1) parent-adolescent communication about sex would be positively associated with adolescent sexual health knowledge, (2) there would be a significant negative association between parental monitoring and adolescent sexual risk, (3) both parental monitoring and parentadolescent communication about sex would be negatively associated with adolescent sexual risk and (4) there would be gender differences in parental monitoring, (5) and parent-adolescent communication about sex. Results indicated no significant association between sexual health knowledge and parent-adolescent communication about sex or parental monitoring. Findings indicated a significant negative association between parental monitoring and adolescent sexual risk, with the association being stronger for CHAPTER I

“…Despite the more clear focus on marginalized populations within human rights reviews, reviews with a focus on lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, or transgender individuals were not found suggesting both a heteronormative lens to the existing research base and the invisibility of gender expressions that differ from the cultural norm. Additionally, while four reviews addressed adolescents, two of which focused exclusively on this population (one on African American youth and another on Latino youth in the US and Mexico)[14, 15, 17, 24], concentration on this population, which often faces stigma and discrimination in SRH service provision, was still relatively rare.…”

How Are Gender Equality and Human Rights Interventions Included in Sexual and Reproductive Health Programmes and Policies: A Systematic Review of Existing Research Foci and Gaps

et al. 2016

The importance of promoting gender equality and human rights in sexual and reproductive health (SRH) programmes and policies has been affirmed in numerous international and regional agreements, most recently the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Given the critical role of research to determine what works, we aimed to identify research gaps as part of a broader priority setting exercise on integrating gender equality and human rights approaches in SRH programmes and policies. A systematic literature review of reviews was conducted to examine the question: what do we know about how research in the context of SRH programmes and policies has addressed gender equality and human rights and what are the current gaps in research. We searched three databases for reviews that addressed the research question, were published between 1994–2014, and met methodological standards for systematic reviews, qualitative meta-syntheses and other reviews of relevance to the research question. Additional grey literature was identified based on expert input. Articles were appraised by the primary author and examined by an expert panel. An abstraction and thematic analysis process was used to synthesize findings. Of the 3,073 abstracts identified, 56 articles were reviewed in full and 23 were included along with 10 from the grey literature. The majority focused on interventions addressing gender inequalities; very few reviews explicitly included human rights based interventions. Across both topics, weak study designs and use of intermediate outcome measures limited evidence quality. Further, there was limited evidence on interventions that addressed marginalized groups. Better quality studies, longer-term indicators, and measurement of unintended consequences are needed to better understand the impact of these types of interventions on SRH outcomes. Further efforts are needed to cover research on gender equality and human rights issues as they pertain to a broader set of SRH topics and populations.

“…Adolescent sexual behaviour is influenced by multiple, complex sets of factors and determinants [7][8][9][10][11][12]. Adolescents in Saudi Arabia face immense challenges due to increasing globalisation, urbanisation, digital communications, economic challenges, and other external forces; and like other adolescents, they are approaching adulthood in a world that is vastly different from that of previous generations [13].…”

Exploring Sexual Behaviour and Associated Factors among Adolescents in Saudi Arabia: A Call to End Ignorance

Little is known about sexual behaviour, attitudes, and associated factors among adolescents in Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional study using a multistage sampling technique was conducted among 453 male adolescents selected from high schools in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. About 54.1% of the adolescents practiced masturbation daily and 38% had experienced sexual contact, while 67% had friends who had experienced sexual contact. The majority of adolescents (72.2%) believed men engage in sexual experience before marriage, and only 11.5% discussed sexual health issues with their parents. Most adolescents believed in the effectiveness of sex education (92.3%) and the need for school-based sex education (85.6%). The logistic regression analyses showed adolescent sexual activity was independently associated with age [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 1.5, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.3-1.8, p < 0.001), daily masturbation (AOR = 2.1, 95% CI: 1.3-3.2, p < 0.004), friends who engaged in sexual activity (AOR = 2.8, 95% CI: 1.4-4.6, p < 0.001), and belief that men experience sexual contact before marriage (AOR = 5.1, 95% CI: 2.8-9.3, p < 0.001). The findings indicated that male adolescents had negative attitudes toward sexual activity and were involved in risky sexual behaviour. To mitigate these issues, schools and community networks should be involved in the delivery of a culturally sensitive sexual health-promoting programme.
