Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine policies and practices that affect the sexual health of adolescents in Forrest County, a southeast Mississippi community. Community members participating in a series of community conversations shared perspectives on needs and problems related to adolescent sexual health; policies and practices affecting adolescent sexual health; and their own roles in, and contributions toward, improving adolescent sexual health. Qualitative analysis of conversations yielded five overarching themes related directly to: education, health, environment, communication, and parental involvement. Community members expressed a strong desire to improve adolescent sexual health by offering specific recommendations and action plans.
