“…Findings suggest that parent-child communication about condom use was not a significant predictor of condom use and that peer communication about condom use was only a marginally significant predictor, which is not consistent with the findings of prior studies by Holtzman and Rubinson (1995) and by Jaccard and Dittus (1993). One possible explanation is that parental and peer communications might become less influential for students when compared with their earlier stages of development.…”

“…For example, a number of studies showed that parent-child communication about sexual issues is associated with delayed onset of sexual intercourse (e.g., Aspy et al, 2007;Lehr, DiIorio, Dudley, & Lipana, 2000), increased contraceptive use (including condom use), and fewer sexual partners (e.g., Holtzman & Rubinson, 1995;Pick & Palos, 1995).…”

“…Based on social interaction theory (Patterson, Reid, & Dishion, 1992), interactions with peers about sexual issues should serve as a very important protective factor in influencing sexual behaviors among adolescents and young adults. However, some studies have shown that young people who reported sexual communications with peers were more likely to have unprotected sex (Holtzman & Rubinson, 1995;Jaccard & Dittus, 1993).…”

A cross-sectional survey was conducted to test an integrated model of condom use with a sample of 490 sexually active Chinese college students. A number of variables in the integrated model were predictors of condom use, explaining 33.4% of the variance in use. Partner communication was the strongest predictors (β = .317, SE = .038, p < .001). Self-efficacy (β = .252, SE = .076, p < .001), positive attitudes (β = .150, SE = .060, p < .001), and social norms (β = .207, SE = .080, p < .001) were also significant predictors of condom use. Additionally, peer communication marginally significantly predicted condom use (β = .089, SE = .039, p = .055). This study provides evidence of the utility of the theories of reasoned action and planned behavior as an effective underlying theoretical framework for HIV prevention and safe sex intervention programs in a non-Western culture. The study also provides evidence that communication with sexual partners about condom use should be one of the most important factors to be considered in the development of HIV prevention and safer sex education programs for Chinese youth.

Sexual and reproductive health is at the base of people's living and wellbeing, the ability to develop in a supportive environment and grow into sexually responsive and responsible adults, the ability to enjoy one's sexuality without harming or damaging oneself or one's partner, are among the unique attributes that define us as human. Many of the typical changes that occur during adolescence tend to interfere with the effectiveness and amount of interaction between parent and child. The objective of the study is to assess communication on sexual and reproductive health issues among Mizan secondary and preparatory school students with parents. Institution based cross sectional quantitative study design was conducted among Mizan secondary and preparatory school students with sample size of 356 and total population of 3436 from April, 20/4/2016 to April, 25/4/2016. The data was collected by using structured self-administered questionnaires. After the data was collected it was processed and analyzed manually by the help scientific calculator. The response rate was 100%. From the total of three hundred fifty six respondents 196(55.1%) of them were females. One hundred three 103(28.9%) of respondents were discussed at least one SRH issue with parents for the last 12 month of the study period, from those 58(56.3%) of them were females and 45(43.7%) of them were males. but majority 253(71.1%) of them didn't discussed about SRH issues with their parents. This study shows that student-parent communication on SRH issues is low, only less than one-third of the students were communication SRH. The risk for SRH problems need urgent and continues intervention as such it is necessary to equip and educate parents and students on different sexual and reproductive health issues. Therefore; there should be give school base sex education about SRH and youth friendly health service for youth and adolescents at different level of health care.

“…In a study conducted on a sample of 8,098 high school students, adolescents who discussed Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) with their parents were less likely to have had multiple partners, unprotected sex, or to have injected drugs than did those who did not discuss HIV with their parents (Holtzman & Rubinson, 1995) [7]. Similarly, Luster and Small (1994) [8] found that low-risk females, defined as those who had only one partner and always used contraception, were more likely to report having discussed birth control with their mothers than were those defined as high-risk, defined as those who had multiple partners and never or rarely used contraception.…”

Abstract:The primary purpose of this study was to better understand the role of parents in early adolescents' sexual attitudes and behavior, as parents are ecologically an important proximal factor. Predictor variables included were mother and father approval of premarital sex, parent-adolescent communication about sexuality, and parental social support. Religiosity was also included. The participants were 194, male (n=89) and female (n=105) students in the 7 th and 8 th grades (ages 12-15, mean=13.24), primarily African-American and Mexican-American and of lower socioeconomic status, from two middle schools in an urban school district of a large city in the Midwest of the U.S.A.. Variance in most criterion variables was significantly explained by various combinations of these parenting variables. However, none of these parenting variables predicted adolescents' intentions to avoid pregnancy, plans sexual intercourse debut, or plans for continuing sexual intercourse if already started (n=34). Contributions to existing literature, as well as implications for prevention and intervention, are discussed.
