  • Factors affecting the implementation of a whole-school relationships and sexual health intervention

    Open AccessRuth Ponsford, Rebecca Meiksin et al.ARTICLESex Education2026

    Whole-school relationships and sexual health interventions represent promising approaches to promoting healthy sexual development. However, data from a randomised controlled trial of the Positive Choices whole-school intervention demonstrate these may be challenging to implement in English secondary schools. We draw on qualitative data to examine staff perspectives on the implementation of the intervention and the factors affecting delivery. Inte…

  • Understanding the limited effectiveness of a whole-school relationships and sexual-health programme

    Open AccessVeena Muraleetharan, Ruth Ponsford et al.ARTICLESex Education2026

    Previous trials of whole-school relationships and sexual-health programmes have not reported on fidelity, reach or acceptability, despite the importance of these factors for interpreting outcomes. Our trial of the Positive Choices whole-school relationships and sexual-health programme found limited effectiveness in secondary schools in England. We aimed to understand whether sub-optimal fidelity, reach or acceptability might explain the results. …

  • Effects of a whole-school relationships and sexual health intervention on non-competent sexual debut

    Open AccessRuth Ponsford, Rebecca Meiksin et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2026Citada por: 1Referências: 22

    BACKGROUND: Relationships and sex education (RSE) impacts some sexual behaviours but could be strengthened by incorporating whole-school approaches (eg, building engagement, providing contraception). These can prevent pregnancies and sexually-transmitted infections but are unevaluated in UK schools. METHODS: A cluster-randomised trial of 'Positive Choices' compared it with usual practice in English secondary schools. Intervention comprised: RSE, …

  • The mechanisms by which a whole-school intervention might improve sexual health

    Open AccessRuth Ponsford, Rebecca Meiksin et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2025Referências: 17

    Whole-school interventions go beyond classroom education, promoting health by modifying school environments. These can be effective in delaying sexual debut and increasing contraception use but mechanisms are poorly understood. Qualitative research within realist evaluation can explore mechanisms via building 'context-mechanism-outcome configurations', describing how interventions trigger mechanisms that interact with context to generate outcomes…

  • Uncovering withdrawal use among sexually active US adolescents

    B A Laris, Mia Barrett et al.ARTICLESex Education2021

    This paper explores the use of withdrawal as a harm reduction approach to adolescent pregnancy prevention and its association with condom use. Data come from a baseline survey of a randomised controlled trial to test the effectiveness of FLASH, a sexual health education curriculum. Study participants completed electronic self-report surveys in health classes in their first or second year of high school (age range 14.1–17.9, mean 15.3 years). One-…

  • Socio‐Ecological Factors Associated With Students' Perceived Impact of an Evidence‐Based Sexual Health Education Curriculum

    Open AccessChristine Markham, Melissa F Peskin et al.ARTICLEJournal of School Health2020

    BACKGROUND: Although schools often implement evidence-based sexual health education programs to address sexual and reproductive health disparities, multiple factors may influence program effectiveness. METHODS: Using student-reported perceived impact measures as a proxy for program effectiveness, we employed a socio-ecological approach to examine student, teacher, school, and district factors associated with greater perceived impact of It's Your …

  • The Protective Role of Social Capital and Cultural Norms in Latino Communities

    Open AccessJill Denner, Douglas Kirby et al.ARTICLEHispanic Journal of Behavioral…2001Citada por: 23Referências: 26

    This study investigates how community characteristics can protect adolescents from the negative effects of poverty. Using economic predictors, eight communities with low or high birthrates for 15- to 17-year-old Latinas were identified. Quantitative data on birth-rates, demographics, and the physical environment were obtained from government, hospital, and local sources. Qualitative data on the physical environment and social processes in the com…
