“…The literature related to youth's sexuality also widely perceived youth as not having the moral capacity to make decisions considered "rational"; adults were thus described as needing to impose moral norms on youths in regard to their sexual life (e.g., Bishop, 2011;Froyum, 2010). This perspective was critiqued by certain authors, who considered youth's moral agency was "denied" and claimed they should be involved in decisions related to their sexuality both at the personal and policy levels (e.g., Braeken & Cardinal, 2008;Macvarish, 2010).…”

Inconsistencies have been noted in how moral agency is conceived in childhood, leading to variations in children’s levels of inclusion/exclusion from discussions and decisions affecting them in children’s services and research. Through a scoping review of 261 articles, we examined the different ways in which children’s moral agency is imagined in the literature across different disciplines: education, health, law, psychology, and social services. A developmental psychology perspective dominated the results, while other viewpoints were less prevalent (e.g., children as active moral agents). We discuss how the different perspectives could be bridged to advance more integrated perspectives on interdisciplinary knowledge and practices related to childhood ethics.

“…A public health conflation of HIV risk with digital media risks can overshadow the ways in which online and digital media afford same-sex attracted young people the opportunity to explore and develop their identities through digital media (Pingel, Bauermeister, Johns, Eisenberg, & Leslie-Santana, 2013). In relation to young people’s sexual health, a risk-focused research agenda that prioritizes condom use as the only strategy for safety fails to engage with young people’s own narratives of negotiating sexual risks (Attwood & Smith, 2011; Bale, 2011; Bishop, 2011). Similarly, risk-based approaches to young people’s cybersafety often overlook how young people narrate digital media risks and affordances (Livingstone, 2008).…”

This article draws on focus group interviews with same-sex attracted Australian men and women aged 18-29, to reflect on their accounts of the perceived risks and opportunities offered by hook-up apps such as Grindr, Blendr, and Hornet. Until recently, scholarly accounts of same-sex attracted men hooking up online have primarily focused on measuring the safety of sexual encounters in relation to HIV and “risky” sexual practices. This article extends previous health-related studies by considering the ways that the exchange of sexually explicit digital self-portraits (or selfies) feature within digital sexual negotiations and also exploring same-sex attracted women’s perceptions of safety and risk in relation to dating and hook-up apps and websites. It draws on recent scholarship on Grindr and other geo-locative hook-up apps to explore the material role that mobile phones and apps play in establishing a sense of safety, intimacy, and/or risk within flirtations and sexual interactions and the ways that young people’s “off-label” (or non-sexual) uses of hook-up apps might facilitate (and diminish) their sense of queer identity and visibility.

“…Given the stigma around rural youth sexual health, participants valued “non‐judgmental” practitioner attitudes. In line with previous studies, participant accounts also demonstrate how GPs can encourage self‐disclosure from young bisexual women through direct, open gender‐neutral questions about sexual behaviour .…”

Objective: To examine how young bisexual women in rural Tasmania experience routine sexual health care in general practice settings. Design: Semi-structured interviews with bisexual women were used for this study.Self-selected and purposive sampling were used to recruit women in 2015. Participants were recruited via community social media pages and a not-for-profit organisation supporting same-sex attracted rural youth. Data were analysed thematically. Setting: Regional and rural areas in the north and south of Tasmania, Australia. Participants: Fifteen bisexual women, 18-26 years of age, with experience seeking sexual health care in Tasmania. Main outcome measure(s): Semi-structured interviews explored women's experiences of inclusive sexual health care. Results: Four key themes emerged from the thematic analysis: (a) issues of health care accessibility in rural Tasmania; (b) the importance of visual signs of inclusivity in rural clinics; (c) practitioner attitudes; and (d) use of inclusive, gender-neutral language.Conclusions: Rural bisexual women prefer practitioners who make meaningful efforts to be inclusive and take a non-judgmental approach to sexual health care.Additional resources are needed to support rural communities and their health care providers to prioritise inclusive health practices.
