Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increased self-understanding, identity exploration, physical and emotional changes, development of intimate relationships outside home, increased dependency on friends, dilemmas, arguments with parents are all hallmarks of adolescent development. Awareness of ones sexual development, romantic relations with the member of opposite sex, curiosity and experimentation along with inadequate information and the preference for unreliable sources of information on puberty and sex, can pose a serious threat to the physical, emotional and social well being of adolescents. With adults admitting their embarrassment and unpreparedness to handle the growing sexual interests of their adolescent child and with the ever increasing number of adolescents who indulge in risk taking behaviours like pre-marital and unprotected intercourse, the need to know and understand adolescents and to inculcate a sense of responsibility in them is of utmost importance. For this, it becomes even more important to know the meaning of reproductive health and sexuality and also to know the meaning of the aforementioned concepts as understood by adolescents. This would, in turn, help to explore and know what adolescents perceive of reproductive health, sexuality and related issues. These concepts and the issues related to adolescent sexuality and risk taking and the spheres of influence that affect and shape adolescent sexuality, as discussed in the following pages, form the bases of the present research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescents obviously do not always act in ways that serve their own best interests, even as defined by them. Sometimes their perception of their own risks, even of survival to adulthood, is larger than the reality; in other cases, they underestimate the risks of particular actions or behaviors. It is possible, indeed likely, that some adolescents engage in risky behaviors because of a perception of invulnerabilityâ€"the current conventional wisdom of adults' views of adolescent behavior. Others, however, take risks because they feel vulnerable to a point approaching hopelessness. In either case, these perceptions can prompt adolescents to make poor decisions that can put them at risk and leave them vulnerable to physical or psychological harm that may have a negative impact on their long-term health and viability. A small planning group was formed to develop a workshop on reconceptualizing adolescent risk and vulnerability. With funding from Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Workshop on Adolescent Risk and Vulnerability: Setting Priorities took place on March 13, 2001, in Washington, DC. The workshop's goal was to put into perspective the total burden of vulnerability that adolescents face, taking advantage of the growing societal concern for adolescents, the need to set priorities for meeting adolescents' needs, and the opportunity to apply decision-making perspectives to this critical area. This report summarizes the workshop.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Adolescents' sexuality is not well understood in society today. Little research has explored the relationship between adolescents' sexual behavior and their perception of their parents' and peers' attitudes toward sexuality. Therefore, exploring the association between adolescents' sexual behavior and the influences parent and peer attitudes have on adolescents' sexual behavior is important. Further understanding adolescents' sexual behavior decisions and perceptions as related to sexuality can give society a larger understanding of this sensitive issue. Research oriented to this age group can therefore affect sexual education policies in schools and impact general societal knowledge and understanding. The current study examined adolescents' sexual behavior and their perceptions of their parents' and peers' approval or disapproval of their involvement in sexual intercourse. Participants included 50 Ohio State psychology students between the ages of 17 and 19. This study looked at the relationship and differences between virgin and non-virgin perceptions of punishment and disappointment relating to sexual intercourse involvement. Hypothetical and actual perceptions that adolescents' hold about their sexual behaviors was further studied and compared between virgin and non-virgin adolescents. Whether the adolescents had a talk with their parent(s) about contraception methods was also compared between participants. The results confirmed the hypothesis that both parents and peers affect adolescents' sexual behaviors. Additionally, it was discovered that adolescents' perceptions of their friends' sexual behaviors influence individual behavior. Moreover, expected punishment and disappointment from parents influenced adolescent sexual behavior; if an adolescent expects that their parents will be disappointed, the adolescent is less likely to engage in sexual behavior. Further hypotheses were confirmed. If adolescents perceive their closest friends to be sexually active, the adolescent is more likely to be sexually active as well. Additionally, if the adolescent has spoken with their parents about sexual contraception, the adolescent perceives their parent to be less disappointed in sexual behaviors.

Download or read book Relationships Between Adolescents' Sexual and Reproductive Health Knowledge, Attitudes, and Beliefs and Intimate Partner Violence in Young Adulthood written by Natasha Camhi and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although adolescents’ sexual and reproductive health (SRH) knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs (KAB) have been amply studied, most research on the topic focuses on examining contraceptive use and the risk of unintended pregnancy. Relatively little is known about the relationship between adolescents’ SRH awareness and young adult health and well-being outcomes, such as the perpetration and victimization of intimate partner violence (IPV). IPV represents a major public health crisis in the United States: Approximately one-third of both women and men report having experienced some type of violence at the hands of an intimate partner in their lifetime. I examine the relationship between adolescents’ SRH KAB and intimate partner violence using data from two waves of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health). Add Health, which follows a nationally representative sample of individuals over more than a decade (1994–2008), is the largest and most comprehensive longitudinal survey of adolescents to date, and contains detailed information on the sexual and romantic experiences of adolescents and young adults. My study incorporates four key explanatory variables from Wave I—a reproductive and contraceptive knowledge score, a contraceptive attitudes index, a contraceptive confidence index, and a self-efficacy index—which were built using factor analysis. It also includes two dichotomous dependent variables—IPV perpetration and victimization—from Wave III. Multivariate logistic regression analyses reveal similar associations between sociodemographic variables and both IPV measures: Women are much more likely to experience both outcomes, while women who are older at sexual debut or who have high educational attainment are significantly less likely to experience either outcome than their respective counterparts. Surprisingly, adolescents with greater and more accurate SRH knowledge are more likely than those with less knowledge to later become victims of IPV, though knowledge has no bearing on the likelihood of perpetration. Notably, holding more favorable attitudes toward contraception as an adolescent is unambiguously related to a decreased likelihood of experiencing IPV perpetration or victimization as a young adult. These results demonstrate that while knowledge is important, attitudes developed during adolescence are moderately strong correlates of experiencing IPV in young adulthood, providing evidence in support of sexuality education programs that target SRH attitudes and incorporate violence prevention, healthy relationship, and conflict resolution modules.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite recent declines in unintended pregnancy rates among adolescent and young adult women, barriers to family planning services and contraception continue to exist for young women living in the United States. Various initiatives have been implemented over the years from programmatic interventions to enactment of policies around family planning, yet more work needs to be done to help adolescent and young adult women successfully prevent unintended pregnancy. The Contraceptive Access Project (CAP) is a multi-component initiative in Nebraska to reduce unintended pregnancy among women aged 15-24. This dissertation comprises three separate studies each of which contributes to the overall objective of examining and understanding barriers to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services for adolescents and young adults aged 15-24 in Nebraska and the role of the CAP in reducing those barriers. Results from the first study showed that racial and ethnic background, rather than age, of young women receiving CAP services (e.g. no-cost contraception) were predictive of whether a Tier 1 method of contraception (e.g. intrauterine device or subdermal implant) were obtained. The second study found that barriers to the adoption and implementation of quality family planning best practices continue to exist for Title X organizations across the state. The final study found that despite high knowledge about long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) among clinical staff in Title X organizations across Nebraska, misconceptions about LARCs, as well as attitudes and beliefs around LARCs for adolescents and young adults, continue to present as barriers to young people’s access of contraception, particularly in rural parts of the state. Overall there are several strengths to this dissertation. First, this work adds to the overall literature on barriers to SRH services for young women, not only in Nebraska but across the U.S. Second, results from these studies can help other communities in the U.S. to implement initiatives around reducing barriers to SRH services. Finally, we have expanded upon the literature comparing adolescent women aged 15-19 to young adult women aged 20-24. Future studies can use this work to reduce barriers to SRH services for young people throughout the United States.
