为了了解宗教在青少年性行为中的作用，研究了加纳东南部两个社区作为社会化主要推动者的父母的观点。焦点小组访谈进行了母亲（和女性照顾者）的青少年和一个父亲（和男性照顾者）的青少年。采用专题分析法对数据进行分析。调查结果显示，一个社区的家长认为宗教在青少年的性行为中扮演着一把双刃剑的角色，一方面它发挥着保护作用，限制青少年从事危险的性行为，另一方面它又破坏了现有的规范青少年性行为的传统措施。然而，来自另一个社区的父母发现了一个合作的接口之间的现有的社会控制措施，社区社会化和禁止道德与宗教伦理。宗教社会化，社会资本理论和社会痛苦的概念被用来解释本研究的一些发现。对艾滋病毒和艾滋病教育和预防的影响也进行了讨论。
To understand the role of religion in the sexual behaviours of adolescents, the views of parents who are key agents of socialization were examined from two south-eastern communities in Ghana. Focus Group interviews were conducted with mothers (and female caregivers) of adolescents and one with fathers (and male caregivers) of adolescents. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. Findings indicated that parents from one community perceived religion as playing a double-edged role in adolescents’ sexual behaviours as on one hand it played a protective role by restraining adolescents from risky sexual behaviours; on the other hand it disparaged the existing traditional measures that regulated adolescents’ sexual behaviour. However, parents from the other community found a collaborative interface between the existing social control measures—communal socialization and proscriptive morality with religious ethics. Religious socialization, social capital theory and the concept of social suffering are used to explain some of the findings of this study. Implications for HIV and AIDS education and prevention are also discussed.
