Project Abstract The rates of HIV/AIDS, other STIs, unplanned pregnancies, and dating violence among adolescents indicate the need for evidence-based, medically-accurate, comprehensive sexual 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 about sex, and many media messages about sex 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 health. Thus, this Phase I application proposes to develop Media Aware Sexual Health - High School (MASH-HS), an interactive web-based comprehensive sexual health MLE program, designed to develop students’ critical thinking skills and promote sexual health. It is hypothesized that this program will enhance adolescents’ media literacy skills, sexual health knowledge, cognitions (i.e., attitudes, self-efficacy, and norms), and behaviors regarding healthy sexual decision-making. The program will be based upon the Message Interpretation Processing model, found to be a significant mediator of effective MLE programs in reducing sexual risk behaviors. If effective, this program would be the first comprehensive sexual health, MLE intervention and the first completely web-based program on the OAH list of evidence-based sexual health programs for male and female high school students. The proposed product is highly innovative due to 1) including a broad range of sexual health topics, 2) attention to media influence, a risk factor often ignored in sexual risk prevention programs, and 3) a paradigm shift for school-based sex education away from teacher-led programming towards a self-paced, online format that enhances student learning. Phase I of this project includes two aims. The first aim is to create a prototype of the program based on expert and stakeholder feedback, focus group discussions with target informants (i.e., adolescents), and usability studies. The second aim is to conduct a pretest-posttest feasibility study of MASH-HS in eight 9th and 10th grade classrooms in schools randomly assigned to intervention (i.e., MASH-HS) and control (i.e., typical health education curriculum) (N=136 students) conditions to assess if MASH-HS meets criteria for moving on to Phase II. These methods will provide feedback about the format, goals, and content of the program, and feasibility of the program’s effectiveness for improving adolescent health outcomes. The potential commercial applications include the creation of an engaging, effective comprehensive sexual health program that can be utilized in a wide range of educational settings. One of the added benefits is that while it enhancing sexual health, it will also develop critical thinking skills, highly valued in education settings, which should contribute positively to adoption and scalability.

项目摘要 青少年的艾滋病毒/艾滋病，其他性传播疾病，计划外怀孕和约会暴力的发生率表明 需要基于证据的，医学准确的，全面的性健康教育。但是，这两个 老师和父母在有效地教授性健康和关系时面临挑战 学生收到不完整或不准确的信息。年轻人转向媒体以获取有关 性别以及许多有关性的媒体信息是不准确和不健康的。消费不健康的媒体 消息（例如，那些正常或魅力化的性行为）与早期和危险的青少年性有关 行为。已经显示了对媒体信息进行批判性分析的媒体素养教育（MLE） 成为改变风险的健康行为，包括与性健康有关的行为的有效干预措施。 这是I阶段的申请提案，以开发媒体意识性健康 - 高中（MASH -HS），这是一个 基于互动Web的综合性健康MLE计划，旨在发展学生的关键 思考技巧并促进性健康。假设该计划将增强青少年的媒体 扫盲技能，性健康知识，认知（即，出席，自我效能和规范）和行为 关于健康的性决策。该程序将基于消息解释 处理模型，被认为是减少性风险的有效MLE计划的重要中介 行为。如果有效，该计划将是第一个全面的性健康，MLE干预和 在OAH列表的男性和 女高中生。提议的产品由于1）包括广泛的产品而具有很高的创新性 性健康主题，2）关注媒体影响，这是预防性风险的危险因素 计划，以及3）基于学校的性教育的范式转变，从教师主导的节目转换为 一种自节奏的在线格式，可增强学生学习。该项目的第一阶段包括两个目标。第一个 目的是根据专家和利益相关者的反馈创建计划的原型，重点小组讨论 与目标线人（即青少年）和可用性研究。第二个目的是进行预测试测试 在八个九年级和10年级教室中的MASH-HS的可行性研究随机分配给学校 干预（即Mash-HS）和控制（即典型的健康教育课程）（n = 136名学生） 评估MASH-HS是否符合进入第二阶段的标准的条件。这些方法将提供 有关程序的格式，目标和内容的反馈以及计划有效性的可行性 改善青少年健康成果。潜在的商业应用包括创建 引人入胜，有效的综合性健康计划可以在广泛的教育中使用 设置。附加的好处之一是，尽管它增强了性健康，但它也会发展批判性思维 技能，在教育环境中高度重视，这应该为采用和可扩展性做出积极贡献。
