Abstract

Abstract Substantial evidence supports comprehensive sex education programs as effective means of promoting adolescent sexual health, but evidence on the effect of state-level sex education policy is inconclusive. Multiple states in the U.S. afford local authority in school policy, and existing literature calls for investigation of the impact of local interpretation and implementation of sex education policy. This study is the first to assess the association between stated county policy and select adolescent sexual health outcomes. In this single state multivariate analysis, stated county policy was not significantly associated with adolescent birth or sexually transmitted infections. The incongruity of evidence between the impacts of sex education programs and policies on teen birth and STIs in Florida suggests that implementation of policy and delivery of sex education at the district or school level may not align with stated county policy and may be a critical mediating factor, confirming an area of essential future research in sex education.

县级学校性教育政策:与青少年生育和性传播感染相关的单州分析
大量证据支持综合性教育作为促进青少年性健康的有效手段,但关于国家级性教育政策效果的证据尚无定论。美国的许多州在学校政策上都有地方权威,现有的文献呼吁调查地方对性教育政策的解释和实施的影响。这项研究是第一个评估国家政策和选择青少年性健康结果之间关系的研究。在这个单州多变量分析中,声明的县政策与青少年生育或性传播感染没有显著关联。在佛罗里达州,性教育项目和政策对青少年生育和性传播感染的影响之间的证据不一致表明,学区或学校层面的性教育政策的实施和交付可能与县政策不一致,这可能是一个关键的中介因素,确认了未来性教育的一个重要研究领域。

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.
