在过去的三十年里，在美国各地的社区中开发、实施和评估了许多性教育项目。这项研究探索了年轻人在青少年谈话中的经历，这是一个以诊所为基础的性教育计划，旨在提供有关避孕和节欲的引人入胜和医学上准确的教育，并促进获得生殖健康保健。通过与美国东北部49名年轻人的焦点小组讨论，本研究探讨了青少年谈话参与者对这一计划及其影响的看法。对开放式数据的主题分析表明，青少年谈话的经历和学习是由每个Teen Talk节目中的小组过程以及开发和促进该项目的组织的背景决定的。此外，研究结果还表明，在那些主动或通过同伴网络参加的年轻人中，青少年交谈网站很受欢迎，并被视为一个“实际学习”的网站。相比之下，在儿童福利工作人员的敦促下，参加该项目的年轻人中，该项目的经历及其对其影响的看法反映了广泛的观点--一些是积极的，另一些是负面的。讨论了为与经历过性虐待和创伤的年轻人合作的教育工作者提供的公共政策建议。
In the past three decades, a number of sexuality education programs have been developed, implemented, and evaluated in communities throughout the United States. This study explores experiences of young people inTeen Talk, a clinic-based sexuality education program developed to provide engaging and medically accurate education about contraception and abstinence, as well as to promote access to reproductive health care. Through focus group discussions with 49 young people in northeastern U.S., this study exploredTeen Talkparticipants' perceptions of this program and its impacts. A thematic analysis of open-ended data showed thatTeen Talkexperiences and learning were shaped by the group process within each rendition ofTeen Talk, as well as the context of the organization that developed and facilitated the program. Additionally, the results showed thatTeen Talkwas well liked and was perceived as a site of "actual learning" among youth who attended it at their own initiative or through peer networks. In contrast, experiences in the program and perceptions of its impact reflected a wide range of views-some positive, others negative-among youth who attendedTeen Talkat the urging of child welfare staff. Public policy recommendations for educators who are working with young people who have experienced sexual abuse and trauma are discussed.
