Beyond the birds and the bees
Studies have shown positive outcomes for pleasure-based and LGBTQI+ inclusive sexuality education, yet to date, most sex education remains risk-based and cis-heteronormative. Teachers’ knowledge, attitudes and skills relevant to pleasure-based and LGBTQI+ inclusive sexuality education likely impact the provision and effectiveness of sexuality education. In this study, we examined (a) teachers’ knowledge, attitudes and (self-perceived) skills; (b)…
Lived experiences of contraceptive use prior to unexpected pregnancy
Unexpected pregnancies occur everywhere, also in contexts where contraceptive care is accessible. Research has found that contraceptive behavior extends beyond rational decision-making and is shaped by a range of personal, relational, and social factors. So far, little is known about peoples lived experiences with contraception prior to an unexpected pregnancy, particularly among adults and men in settings with accessible contraceptive care. This…
Pleasure-Inclusive Sex Education, Sexual Agency, and Sexual Well-Being in Adolescents and Young Adults
It is known that incorporating pleasure into sex education can promote condom use (e.g., Zaneva et al., 2022), but it remains unclear whether this approach also contributes to sexual agency and sexual well-being more broadly. Pleasure-inclusive sex education is designed to enhance sexual agency, which, in turn, may facilitate sexual well-being. In this study, we review the literature on two key topics: (1) the associations between pleasure-inclus…
Motivations for Abortion or Continuation of an Unwanted Pregnancy
Measuring Laypeople’s Notions of Intersex
Introduction Intersex people can face serious stigmatization and discrimination, which may be reinforced by a lack of information and knowledge in the general society. The first objective of this study was to develop and validate a scale for measuring both knowledge of the term intersex and attitudes toward intersex people in the general population. A second aim was to establish a baseline measurement in a representative sample in the Netherlands…
Persistent traditions and fresh winds
Misconceptions about how masculinities are shaped, performed, and valued can hinder progress toward creating equal and safe social worlds. This article seeks to deepen understanding of how Dutch fraternity men experience masculinities and sexually transgressive behaviour toward women, and the in- or exclusion of LGBTQI + individuals. We also examine how these young men perceive recent efforts to promote change and explore strategies to further ch…
The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on STI and HIV Services in the Netherlands According to Health Care Professionals
Surveillance data from the Netherlands show that STI/HIV testing decreased at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, suggesting barriers to access to STI/HIV care. However, the impact of the pandemic on STI/HIV care may be more complex, and key populations could be differentially affected. The aim of this study was to gain more insight into the impact of COVID-19 on STI/HIV care in the Netherlands from the perspective of STI/HIV care providers. We i…
Long-term effects of unintended pregnancy on children
Several studies investigated short-term risks of children born from unintended pregnancies, however evidence about long-term risks is lacking. We aimed to examine whether children born from unintended pregnancies experience psychosocial problems up into adolescence. This study is based on the longitudinal birth cohort study 'Amsterdam Born Children and their Development' (n = 7784). Unintended pregnancy was measured as a multidimensional construc…
Understanding Decision-Making and Decision Difficulty in Women With an Unintended Pregnancy in the Netherlands
Previous research indicates that a considerable number of women with an unintended pregnancy experience difficulty deciding about continuing or terminating the pregnancy. We examined the decision-making processes of women who experienced high decision difficulty and women who experienced little decision difficulty, to gain insight in the factors that contribute to experienced decision difficulty. Sixty-nine women who had an abortion, and 40 women…
Correlates of Common Mental Disorders Among Dutch Women Who Have Had an Abortion
Correlates of postabortion mental disorders were variables that have been identified as general risk factors for mental disorders, which supports the idea that abortion does not pose specific risks to future mental health. Future research should investigate in what way unstable relationships, adverse life events and psychiatric history affect postabortion mental health
