Outcomes of a Comprehensive Sexual Health Education Intervention among Sexual and Gender Minority Youth Living in a Socially Conservative U.S. State
American Journal of Sexuality Education, v19 n4 p385-397 2024
The purpose of this secondary analysis was to examine sexual health beliefs, self-efficacy, and knowledge of resources among sexual and gender minority youth (SGMY) participants. Sexual health education policy is inconsistent throughout the United States, especially in socially conservative regions of the U.S. Reach One Teach One North Dakota (ROTO-ND) was developed as an evidence-based and community implemented sexual health education program. Our results demonstrated improvement across the outcomes of interest among SGMY following the educational intervention. Multivariate analysis offers context of predictor variables post-education. Our findings underscore the importance of inclusive education for SGMY.
