Sources of Sexual Health Information Sample Clauses

Sources of Sexual Health Information. Sources of health information regarding sexual and reproductive health information are influenced by the sociocultural context. During adolescent development, social norms and taboos dictate which individuals are consulted. In Sub-Saharan African societies, it is socially unacceptable to discuss sexual information across generations (Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, & Xxxxxxx, 2011). Researchers in Mozambique, Botswana and Malawi found that adults felt uncomfortable discussing safe sex practices with their children due to the traditional norms opposing dialog surrounding sexuality with youth (Xxxxxxxxx, et al., 2011). A group of researchers in Tanzania identified similar responses. Parents and adolescents felt that it was the responsibility of the parents to create an environment conducive to proper youth development. Parents were cited as an important role model and were responsible for their children’s sexual behaviors. However, many parents did not feel like they had the resources or skills to have sensitive and meaningful discussions with their children about sex and HIV (Xxxxx, et al., 2010). Furthermore, researchers found that youth help seeking behaviors regarding sexual health depended heavily on cultural norms.

Nicaraguan women consulted both their parents (40%) and friends (37%) when they needed information regarding sex. Likewise, Pakistani women primarily sought out sexual and reproductive information from their mothers, older sisters or sister-in-laws, and older married friends (Xxxxxxx, Xxxx, & Xxxxx, 2005; Xxxx, et al., 2003). Interestingly, studies have shown that more young people are beginning to turn to the internet in order to get more information regarding sexual and reproductive health. Both Nicaraguan and Pakistani boys and girls identified media as an important source of information; however, boys sought information from the internet more often than girls (Xxxxxxx et al., Xxxxxxx, et al., 2005; Xxxx, et al., 2003). In contrast, a study with Zimbabwean men in 2008 found that men were more likely to go to personal relations rather than media sources when they had concerns regarding their sexual health (Xxxxxxx &...
