Introduction: High parental monitoring is demonstrated in the form of good supervision by parents, accompanied by communication and parenting as an important and effective part, to prevent risky adolescent sexual behavior. The purpose of writing this article is to systematically review several recent studies using cross sectional, longitudinal and ethnographic designs to determine the effect of parental monitoring on adolescent sexual risk behaviors. Method: Searching library sources was conducted in several electronic databases such as scanned, biomed, pubmed and google scholar in the last 10 years, which were published in English. The search results obtained 8 articles that met the criteria. Conclusion: Parental monitoring is very influential to reduce the risk of adolescent risky sexual behavior. Parental monitoring is more effective with good parenting, good relationships and communication between parents and adolescents, high religiosity, and the application of discipline in the family. Further research is needed in the form of interventions, as well as examining parental monitoring in various other risk behaviors for adolescents. Keywords: parental monitoring, adolescent, risky sexual behavior, parent-adolescent communication ABSTRAK Pendahuluan: Parental monitoring yang tinggi ditunjukkan dalam bentuk pengawasan yang baik oleh orangtua, disertai dengan komunikasi dan pola asuh sebagai bagian penting dan efektif, untuk mencegah perilaku seksual berisiko remaja.

Data from 752 Bahamian youth and their parents were analyzed to examine the relationship of youth depression with youth risk involvement, parental monitoring, and parent-youth communication. Depressed youth were older, more likely to engage in risk behaviors, and they perceived significantly lower levels of parental monitoring and higher levels of impaired communication than did nondepressed youth. Both depressed and nondepressed youth perceived significantly lower rates of parental monitoring and open communication and higher rates of problem communication than did their parents, but the differences in perceptions of open communication were significantly greater among depressed parent-youth dyads. Depressed youth, youth with past histories of risk behavior, youth reporting higher levels of impaired communication and lower levels of parental monitoring were more likely to anticipate future risk behavior.

Although parental monitoring has received considerable attention in studies of U.S. adolescents, few published studies have examined how parents' knowledge of their children's whereabouts may influence health risk behaviors in adolescents living in Latin America. We investigated the association between perceived parental monitoring and substance use, fighting, and sexual behaviors in rural and urban Salvadoran adolescents (n = 982). After adjusting for several sociodemographic covariates, multilevel regression analyses indicated that students reporting low parental monitoring were between 2 to 3.5 times more likely to report risk behaviors examined. The promotion of specific parenting practices such as parental monitoring may hold promise for reducing adolescent risk behaviors in El Salvador.

AbstractObjectivesTo describe individual, interpersonal, and environmental factors and sexual risk behaviors among Thai Muslim adolescents.MethodsWe recruited adolescents from four schools and one vocational college on the Southern border of Thailand during October 2018 to January 2019. We used password-protected online questionnaires for each respondent to protect their privacy.ResultsWe recruited N = 700 participants of which 9% were sexually experienced. Of those participants, many had never used a condom (41.3%) or considered taking contraceptive pills (71.4%). Moreover, 54% of them have had sexual intercourse more than once. Some had been infected with an STI (17.5%), and (14.3%) became pregnant more than once. Adolescents reported individual factors such as high religiosity (58.7%), and (47.6%) practiced Islam daily with no differences between boys and girls. Girls had significantly higher refusal of sex self-efficiency than boys (96 vs. 119.5, p < 0.05). In the interpersonal factors, boys had more uninvolved parenting style, lower parental monitoring, higher parental approval of sex, and higher perceived peer norm than girls. The environmental factors besides cultural norms impacted girls and boys equally.ConclusionsWe showed low rates of sexual activity, but in those adolescents who were sexually active we showed high rates of lack of knowledge and higher rates of sexual risk behaviors. Individual, interpersonal, and environmental factors all influenced sexual risk behaviors. We recommend comprehensive sexuality education that includes Islamic context for adolescents and their parents embedded in policy, religious, and community cultural practices.
