本研究考察了media Aware的短期效果，media Aware是一个以课堂为基础的媒体素养教育（MLE）项目，旨在改善青少年的性健康结果。采用随机对照试验，将学校随机分为干预组（N= 5所学校）和健康促进对照组（N= 4所学校）。学生分别在前测（880名学生）和后测（926名学生）完成问卷调查。媒体意识项目对青少年性健康相关的结果有显著的有利影响，包括提高自我效能感和使用避孕措施的意愿，如果他们要进行性活动的话；增强积极态度、自我效能感和就性健康进行交流的意愿；对约会暴力和严格的性别角色的接受程度下降；提高性健康知识。与媒体相关的结果也发现了节目效应，包括增强的媒体解构技能和增加的媒体怀疑主义。媒体解构技巧调解了该项目对学生就性健康问题与医疗专业人员沟通意愿的影响。本研究为使用MLE促进青少年性健康提供支持。
This study examined the short-term efficacy ofMedia Aware, a classroom-based media literacy education (MLE) program for improving adolescents’ sexual health outcomes. In a randomized control trial, schools were randomly assigned to the intervention (N= 5 schools) or health promotion control (N= 4 schools) group. Students completed questionnaires at pretest (N= 880 students) and immediate posttest (N= 926 students). TheMedia Awareprogram had a significant favorable impact on adolescent outcomes related to sexual health, including increased self-efficacy and intentions to use contraception, if they were to engage in sexual activity; enhanced positive attitudes, self-efficacy, and intentions to communicate about sexual health; decreased acceptance of dating violence and strict gender roles; and increased sexual health knowledge. Program effects were also found for media-related outcomes, including enhanced media deconstruction skills and increased media skepticism. Media deconstruction skills mediated the program’s impact on students’ intentions to communicate with a medical professional about sexual health issues. This study provides support for the use of MLE with adolescents to promote sexual health.
