Youth Assets

Youth internal assets and external resources are protective factors that can help youth avoid potentially harmful behaviors. This study investigates how the relationship between youth assets or resources and two sexual risk behaviors (ever had sex and birth control use) varied by gender. Data were collected through in-home interviews from parent—adolescent dyads, including 1,219 females and 1,116 males. Important differences exist between male and female adolescents. Females with the nonparental role models or the family communication resource were more likely to report never having had sexual intercourse than were females without the resources. Among males, the aspirations for the future and responsible choices assets were associated with never having had sexual intercourse. Males and females had two assets or resources in common that were protective of never having had sex: peer role models and use of time (religion). Considering which youth assets and resources are more likely to positively influence sexual behaviors of males and females may be important when planning prevention programs with youth.

<p>Este trabajo aborda y profundiza en el debate sobre la existencia de un posible doble patrón en afectos y conductas sexuales entre varones y mujeres prepúberes y adolescentes. En este sentido, diferentes estudios plantean la existencia de este doble patrón sexual, si bien es verdad que se pone de manifiesto de forma más evidente con respecto a los afectos que con respecto a las conductas. Estudios más recientes incluso plantean que varones y mujeres mantienen el mismo tipo y frecuencia de conductas sexuales, especialmente a medida que tienen más edad. Además, existen diferentes planteamientos sobre el posible origen de este doble patrón sexual. Finalmente, entendemos que las diferencias, cuando existen, se relacionan tanto con factores biológicos como socioculturales.</p><p>This work deals with and go deeply in the debate about the presence of a double standard in sexual feelings and behaviors between prepuberal and adolescent boys and girls. Different studies have found a double sexual standard with respect to sexual feelings and behaviors. Recent studies point out that male and female adolescents have the same type and frequency of sexual behaviors, especially when they are older. In addition, diverse approaches offer different explanations for this double standard. Finally, we point out that male and female differences, when they appear, are related to both biological and sociocultural factors.<br /><br /></p>

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the effectiveness of abstinence-based sexual education programs delivered in parallel to Thai parents and their early adolescent daughters to promote sexual abstinence and improve communication regarding sexual topics between them and their parents. Design/methodology/approach A quasi-experimental design included groups of parent/daughter dyads; Group 1 (controls) (n=40), Group 2 Adolescent Program (n=40) and Group 3 Adolescent Parent Program (APP) (n=42). Outcome measures included parent–adolescent communications and adolescents’ sexual abstinence cognitions and intent to abstain from sexual behaviors, measured at five and nine weeks post-programs. Findings Generalized estimating equation analyses indicated that the dual program (APP) was more effective in increasing parental communication with their daughters compared with Group 1 (p-value<0.05) and only the daughters in the APP program reported more positive subjective norms, sense of perceived behavioral control and intent to abstain than did Group 1 (p-value<0.05). Originality/value The overarching goal of supporting the development of family environments where female adolescents are able to talk about sexuality is essential for adolescent sexual health promotion. The data provide further evidence that a dual program with simultaneous parent and female adolescent interactive activities over three sessions is superior compared with programs that target either the parents or the adolescents only. Hence, further replication with more parent–daughter dyads and then within more diverse cultures and populations is warranted. Developing and testing a similarly structured program for parents and sons is also required.
