项目摘要

Project Abstract Adolescents can benefit greatly from evidence-based, medically-accurate sexual and relationship health education. However, both teachers and parents face challenges in effectively teaching about sexual health and relationships leading to students receiving incomplete or inaccurate information. Young people turn to the media for information, and many media messages about sex and relationships are inaccurate and unhealthy. Consumption of unhealthy media messages (e.g., those that normalize or glamorize risky sex) is related to early and risky adolescent sexual behaviors. Media literacy education (MLE), which teaches critical analysis of media messages, has been shown to be an effective intervention for changing risky health behaviors including those related to sexual and relationship health. Thus, this Phase II application proposes to complete the development of and test the efficacy of Media Aware (MASH-HS), an interactive web-based sexual health MLE program, designed to develop high school students' critical thinking skills and promote sexual and relationship health. It is hypothesized that this program will enhance adolescents' media literacy skills, sexual health knowledge, cognitions (i.e., beliefs, self-efficacy, and norms), and behaviors regarding healthy decision-making. The program is highly innovative due to inclusion of a broad range of sexual and relationship health topics; attention to media influence, a risk factor often ignored in sexual risk prevention programs; and a paradigm shift for school-based sexual health education away from teacher-led programming towards a self-paced, online format that enhances student learning. The Phase I Feasibility Study revealed significant impacts of the program on students, including enhanced critical thinking about media messages; increased ability and intentions to intervene if they were a bystander to a possible sexual assault; decreased normative beliefs about the frequency of teen sexual activity and risky sexual activity; and decreased willingness to engage in risky sexual behaviors. The first aim of Phase II is to make edits to the program and Learning Management System to enhance program implementation with help from an Advisory Panel of teachers and school administrators. The second aim of Phase II is to conduct a randomized control trial to examine the program's impact on factors related adolescents' sexual and relationships health where schools (n=16) are randomly assigned to condition, and all of one teacher's classrooms from each school will either receive MASH-HS (n=40 classes) or their standard health education curriculum (n=40 classes) between pretest and posttest questionnaires. The RCT will also include a 3-month follow-up in order to examine if the program results in behavioral changes. The potential commercial application is an engaging, cost-effective sexual and relationship health program. One added benefit is that while enhancing health, the program develops critical thinking skills, highly valued in education settings, which should contribute positively to program adoption and scalability.

项目摘要青少年可以从基于证据的、医学上准确的性和关系健康中受益匪浅教育。然而，教师和家长在有效教授性健康和性知识方面都面临着挑战。关系导致学生收到不完整或不准确的信息。年轻人转向媒体提供信息，许多有关性和关系的媒体信息是不准确和不健康的。消费不健康的媒体信息（例如那些将危险性行为正常化或美化的信息）与早期性行为有关和危险的青少年性行为。媒体素养教育（MLE），教授媒体批判性分析信息，已被证明是改变危险健康行为的有效干预措施，包括那些与性和关系健康有关。因此，本二期申请建议完成开发测试 Media Aware (MASH-HS) 的功效，这是一个基于网络的交互式性健康 MLE 程序，旨在培养高中生的批判性思维能力并促进性和关系健康。它假设该计划将提高青少年的媒体素养技能、性健康知识、与健康决策有关的认知（即信念、自我效能和规范）和行为。这由于包含广泛的性和关系健康主题，该计划具有高度创新性；注意媒体影响，这是性风险预防计划中经常被忽视的一个风险因素；和一个范式以学校为基础的性健康教育从教师主导的课程转向自定进度、增强学生学习的在线格式。第一阶段可行性研究揭示了该项目的重大影响学生计划，包括加强对媒体信息的批判性思维；增加的能力和如果他们是可能的性侵犯的旁观者，则有意进行干预；减少的规范信念青少年性活动和危险性活动的频率；以及从事冒险活动的意愿下降性行为。第二阶段的首要目标是对计划和学习管理系统进行编辑在教师和学校管理人员咨询小组的帮助下加强计划实施。第二阶段的第二个目标是进行随机对照试验，以检查该计划对因素的影响相关青少年的性和人际关系健康，其中学校（n = 16）被随机分配到条件，每所学校的一名教师的所有教室都将收到 MASH-HS（n=40 个班级）或其预测和后测问卷之间的标准健康教育课程（n=40 班）。随机对照试验还将包括为期 3 个月的随访，以检查该计划是否会导致行为改变。这潜在的商业应用是一个有吸引力的、具有成本效益的性和关系健康计划。一额外的好处是，在增强健康的同时，该计划还培养了批判性思维技能，这在以下领域受到高度重视：教育环境，这应该对项目的采用和可扩展性做出积极贡献。
