Abstract

Abstract Due to limited knowledge and exposure to sexual health information, refugee adolescent girls need health education programming and research studies that oftentimes require parental consent. We sought to understand the parental consent decision-making process of thirteen refugee parents from eight different countries who consented for their 15–17-year-old daughters to participate in a sexual health promotion program. Interviews with eight mothers and five fathers provided insight into motivations and concerns driving their decision, as well as barriers and facilitators for obtaining consent. In-depth qualitative thematic analysis revealed five predominant themes: (1) Protecting our daughters with knowledge; (2) A different country, a different approach to protection; (3) Consent and understanding can be different; (4) Parents cannot do it all; and (5) My daughter gained a voice. These findings are useful for developing consent protocols and tailored programming to meet the needs of this understudied population.

用知识保护女儿：了解难民父母对美国青少年性健康计划的同意

摘要由于对性健康信息的了解和接触有限，难民少女需要健康教育方案和研究，而这些方案和研究往往需要父母的同意。我们试图了解来自八个不同国家的13名难民父母的父母同意决策过程，他们同意他们15-17岁的女儿参加性健康促进计划。对八位母亲和五位父亲的采访深入了解了促使他们做出决定的动机和担忧，以及获得同意的障碍和促进因素。深入的定性主题分析揭示了五个主要主题：（1）用知识保护我们的女儿；（2）不同的国家，不同的保护方式；（3）同意和理解可能是不同的；（4）父母不可能做到这一切；（5）我女儿有了发言权。这些发现有助于制定同意协议和量身定制的程序，以满足这一研究不足人群的需求。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
