背景资料：性健康信息的来源对青少年的性行为有很大的影响。目的：本研究旨在了解家庭作为性信息来源的作用，青少年从家庭中回忆起的信息，以及家庭学习经历对青少年性行为的影响。对69名15-18岁的青少年进行了个别访谈，从替代高中和青少年教养所，捕捉青少年的早期性健康学习经验，包括家庭，并评估他们的与青少年最近的性行为有关性别和性经验groups.Results：许多参与者确定家庭性健康信息源之间的性学习叙事进行了比较。主要信息回顾：性风险，保护和关系建议。许多青少年将学习经历描述为消极的、警示性的、缺乏细节的，而且并不总是与积极的信息相平衡。报告四种或四种以上性风险的参与者是唯一将色情视为性健康信息来源的群体。参与者报告少于四个性风险最有可能确定家庭性健康信息sources.Discussion：参与者确定家庭成员作为性健康信息的来源，与性别的差异。负面/警示信息要求青少年在其他地方（主要是朋友/媒体）寻求更多的性信息。尤其是男性，似乎往往缺乏家庭指导/教育。转化为健康教育实践：性健康信息应针对青少年的需要，提供关于性机制和健康关系形成的实用和积极的性指导，并与对负面后果的警告相平衡。
Background: Sources of sexual health information exert strong influence on adolescents' sexual behavior.Purpose: The current study was undertaken to understand how family serve as sexual information sources, the messages adolescents recall from family, and how family learning experiences affect sexual behavior among at-risk adolescents.Methods: Individual interviews were conducted with 69 teens, ages 15-18 years, from an alternative high school and a juvenile correctional facility to capture adolescents' early sexual health learning experiences involving family and evaluate their association with teens' recent sexual behavior. Sexual learning narratives were compared among gender and sexual experience groups.Results: Many participants identified family as sexual health information sources. Primary messages recalled: risks of sex, protection, and relationship advice. Many adolescents portrayed learning experiences as negative, cautionary, lacking detail and not always balanced with positive messages. Participants who reported four or more sexual risks were the only group to identify pornography as a sexual health information source. Participants who reported fewer than four sexual risks were most likely to identify family sexual health information sources.Discussion: Participants identified family members as sources of sexual health information, with variations by gender. Negative/cautionary messages require teens to seek additional sexual information elsewhere (primarily friends/media). Males, in particular, appear to often lack familial guidance/education.Translation to Health Education Practice: Sexual health messages should be tailored to adolescents' needs for practical and sex-positive guidance regarding mechanics of sex and formation of healthy relationships, and balanced with cautions regarding negative consequences.
