本研究的目的是评估俄亥俄州三个农村县提供的性教育项目，涉及的机构，以及机构合作的程度，并比较县之间机构间的合作。这项横断面研究分两个阶段进行。使用关键信息提供者访谈（n = 85），第一阶段确定了当前的项目。第二阶段通过邮寄调查评估机构间合作（n = 116）。结果表明，每个县有5到9个性教育项目，每个项目涉及5到8个机构。在学校内外都提供性教育；有一些项目可以让怀孕或养育子女的青少年留在学校，增强自尊，为青少年提供养育教育，并倡导禁欲。性教育也通过时事通讯、青少年健康会议和各种诊所进行。提供这些项目的机构之间的合作很少。公共卫生护士的理想位置是确定当前涉及的项目和机构，并组成一个跨部门小组，计划和实施全面的、协作的青少年性教育项目。需要进一步的研究来纵向评估这种项目发展对机构间合作、青少年性活动和怀孕率的影响。
The purposes of this study were to assess the sex education programs offered in three rural Ohio counties, the agencies involved, and the extent to which agencies collaborated, and to compare interagency collaboration across counties. This cross-sectional study occurred in two phases. Using key-informant interviews (n = 85), Phase 1 identified current programs. Phase 2 assessed interagency collaboration via a mailed survey (n = 116). Results indicated that there were five to nine sex education programs per county, each involving five to eight agencies. Sex education was offered inside and outside of schools; programs were available to keep pregnant/parenting youth in school, enhance self-esteem, provide parenting education to teens, and advocate for abstinence. Sex education also occurred via a newsletter and an adolescent health conference, and in various clinics. Minimal collaboration was noted among agencies providing these programs. Public health nurses are ideally situated to identify current programs and agencies involved and form an interagency group to plan and implement comprehensive, collaborative sex education programs for youth. Further research is needed to longitudinally assess the impact of such program development on interagency collaboration, teen sexual activity, and pregnancy rates.
