Assessment of parent-based interventions for adolescent sexual health: A systematic review and meta-analysis
JAMA Pediatrics Sep 12, 2019
Widman L, et al. - Via synthesizing the outcomes of 31 randomized clinical trials involving 12,464 adolescent candidates, researchers examined the association of parent-based sexual health interventions with three primary youth outcomes ie, delayed sexual activity, condom use, and parent-child sexual communication, as well as several secondary outcomes. In addition, they analyzed potential moderators of intervention effectiveness. According to this systematic review and meta-analysis, there has been a significant correlation of parent-based interventions across studies with enhanced condom use and parent-child sexual communication compared with control conditions, but there has been no significant mean connection of these interventions with delaying sexual activity among adolescents. Sexual health programs based on parents can encourage safer sexual behavior and cognition in adolescents, although the results in this assessment have usually been modest. Moderation analyses showed several areas where extra attention could be given to future programs to enhance potential efficiency.
