Project Abstract The rates of HIV/AIDS, other STIs, unplanned pregnancies, and dating violence among adolescents indicate the need for evidence-based, medically-accurate, comprehensive sexual health education. However, both teachers and parents face challenges in effectively teaching about sexual health and relationships leading to students receiving incomplete or inaccurate information. Young people turn to the media for information about sex, and many media messages about sex are inaccurate and unhealthy. Consumption of unhealthy media messages (e.g., those that normalize or glamorize risky sex) is related to early and risky adolescent sexual behaviors. Media literacy education (MLE), which teaches critical analysis of media messages, has been shown to be an effective intervention for changing risky health behaviors including those related to sexual health. Thus, this Phase I application proposes to develop Media Aware Sexual Health - High School (MASH-HS), an interactive web-based comprehensive sexual health MLE program, designed to develop students’ critical thinking skills and promote sexual health. It is hypothesized that this program will enhance adolescents’ media literacy skills, sexual health knowledge, cognitions (i.e., attitudes, self-efficacy, and norms), and behaviors regarding healthy sexual decision-making. The program will be based upon the Message Interpretation Processing model, found to be a significant mediator of effective MLE programs in reducing sexual risk behaviors. If effective, this program would be the first comprehensive sexual health, MLE intervention and the first completely web-based program on the OAH list of evidence-based sexual health programs for male and female high school students. The proposed product is highly innovative due to 1) including a broad range of sexual health topics, 2) attention to media influence, a risk factor often ignored in sexual risk prevention programs, and 3) a paradigm shift for school-based sex education away from teacher-led programming towards a self-paced, online format that enhances student learning. Phase I of this project includes two aims. The first aim is to create a prototype of the program based on expert and stakeholder feedback, focus group discussions with target informants (i.e., adolescents), and usability studies. The second aim is to conduct a pretest-posttest feasibility study of MASH-HS in eight 9th and 10th grade classrooms in schools randomly assigned to intervention (i.e., MASH-HS) and control (i.e., typical health education curriculum) (N=136 students) conditions to assess if MASH-HS meets criteria for moving on to Phase II. These methods will provide feedback about the format, goals, and content of the program, and feasibility of the program’s effectiveness for improving adolescent health outcomes. The potential commercial applications include the creation of an engaging, effective comprehensive sexual health program that can be utilized in a wide range of educational settings. One of the added benefits is that while it enhancing sexual health, it will also develop critical thinking skills, highly valued in education settings, which should contribute positively to adoption and scalability.

项目摘要 青少年中艾滋病毒/艾滋病、其他性传播感染、计划外怀孕和约会暴力的发生率表明， 需要有循证的、医学上准确的、全面的性健康教育。但无论 教师和家长在有效教授性健康和性关系方面面临挑战， 学生收到不完整或不准确的信息。年轻人向媒体寻求关于 许多媒体关于性的信息是不准确和不健康的。不健康媒体的消费 消息（例如，那些正常化或美化危险性行为的人）与早期和危险的青少年性行为有关。 行为。媒体素养教育（MLE），教媒体信息的批判性分析，已经显示， 成为改变危险健康行为的有效干预措施，包括与性健康有关的行为。 因此，第一阶段的申请建议开发媒体意识性健康-高中（MASH-HS）， 一个互动的基于网络的综合性健康MLE计划，旨在培养学生的关键 思维能力和促进性健康。据推测，这一计划将加强青少年的媒体 识字技能，性健康知识，认知（即，态度、自我效能和规范）和行为 关于健康的性决策。该计划将基于信息解释 处理模型，发现是有效的MLE计划在降低性风险的重要调解人 行为。如果有效，该计划将是第一个全面的性健康，MLE干预和 第一个完全基于网络的计划在OAH名单上的循证性健康计划的男性和 女高中生。拟议的产品是高度创新的，因为1）包括广泛的 性健康话题，2）关注媒体影响，这是性风险预防中经常被忽视的风险因素 3）以学校为基础的性教育模式从教师主导的方案转变为 一种自定进度的在线格式，可增强学生的学习。该项目的第一阶段包括两个目标。第一 目的是根据专家和利益相关者的反馈、焦点小组讨论和 与目标线人（即，青少年）和可用性研究。第二个目的是进行前后测 在随机分配的学校的8个9年级和10年级教室进行MASH-HS的可行性研究， 干预（即，MASH-HS）和对照（即，典型健康教育课程）（N=136名学生） 评估MASH-HS是否符合进入第二阶段的标准。这些方法将提供 关于该计划的格式、目标和内容的反馈，以及该计划有效性的可行性， 改善青少年健康状况。潜在的商业应用包括创建一个 参与，有效的全面性健康计划，可用于广泛的教育 设置.其中一个额外的好处是，虽然它提高性健康，它也将发展批判性思维 这些技能在教育环境中受到高度重视，应有助于采用和可扩展性。
