我们描述了“青少年X”的实施情况，并选择了“青少年X”的研究结果，这是一个基于艺术的研究项目，使用故事圈和身体映射来阐明年轻人如何理解他们的社会环境与他们的性健康和生殖健康之间的关系，特别关注年轻人对性别、性行为和身体作为可能性和权力场所的理解。以社区为基础，从芝加哥南部和西部招募了N = 24名有色人种青年参加为期3天的研讨会。除了故事圈和身体测绘之外，数据还通过对N = 24名青年的简短调查、述职小组（N = 10名青年）和焦点小组（N = 14名青年）收集。研究数据包括(1)人体图的视觉效果，即图例、迷你图和全身图；(2)书写身体地图叙事；(3)故事圈、身体测绘活动、汇报小组、焦点小组的录音记录。所有录音都被转录、去识别，并上传到Dedoose进行定性专题分析。数据分析是由一组独立的编码人员进行的。在所有数据来源中，确定了三个主要主题：(1)与年轻人的身体在不同社会环境中如何被性别、性化和种族化有关的强烈不安全感；(2)成人和机构促进青少年安全的程度；(3)青少年应对和恢复力的来源。讨论了对公共卫生研究、实践和政策的影响。
We describe the implementation and select findings from Adolescent X, an arts-based research project that used story circles and body mapping to elucidate how young people understand the relationship between their social contexts and their sexual and reproductive health, with a particular focus on youth's understandings of gender, sexuality, and the body as sites of possibility and power. A community-based sample of N = 24 youth of color was recruited from the South and West Sides of Chicago to participate in 3-day workshops. In addition to story circles and body mapping, data were collected via brief surveys with N = 24 youth, debriefing groups (n = 10 youth), and focus groups (n = 14 youth). Study data consisted of (1) body map visuals, that is, legends, mini-, and full-body maps; (2) written body map narratives; and (3) audio recordings of the story circles, body mapping activities, debriefing groups, and focus groups. All audio recordings were transcribed, deidentified, and uploaded in Dedoose for qualitative thematic analysis. Data analysis was conducted by a team of independent coders. Across all sources of data, three major themes were identified: (1) strong feelings of unsafety related to how young people's bodies are gendered, sexualized, and racialized in different social settings; (2) the extent to which adults and institutions foster youth safety; and (3) sources of young people's coping and resilience. Implications for public health research, practice, and policy are discussed.
