Associations between school-based relationships and sexuality education and young people’s sexual experiences
This study explored the relationship between sexual health indicators and the receipt of, and perceived relevance of, school-based sexuality education. Multiple regression analyses were conducted using data from 4,189 14- to 18-year-olds who participated in a cross-sectional Australian study. Receiving sexuality education was significantly associated with decreased STI risk, decreased experiences of unwanted sex, and better STI knowledge. High pe…
The diverse but common definitions of sex for young people in Australia
Relationships and sexuality education is a key strategy for promoting safe sex and respectful relationships during adolescence. Understanding the ways in which young people define sex is critical to ensuring a shared understanding between sexual health educators and students. Young people aged 14–18 years (N = 6,043) who participated in a large-scale cross-sectional Australian study were asked to indicate whether various sexual practices (e.g. va…
Seeing Beyond the Individual
Introduction Sexual revictimisation has detrimental health outcomes for women; yet, little is known about this experience in regional/rural areas. Guided by a Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) approach, we explore sexual assault counsellor perspectives on the revictimisation experiences of their clients and consider what conditions enable sexual revictimisation to be perpetrated within regional/rural spaces. Method This paper reports …
Revictimisation of Women in Non-Urban Areas
Literature widely acknowledges that women who experience Child Sex Abuse (CSA) have a higher risk of experiencing sexual revictimisation later in life, yet less is known about experiences of revictimisation in non-urban areas. The aim of this review is to examine what is known internationally regarding revictimisation of non-urban women, and to provide future research, practice and policy recommendations. A total of 2414 articles were identified …
Father-son sex communication in Australian adolescent males
Little is known about the effect of father-son communication on sexual health knowledge and potential sexual health outcomes in young men. We investigated the confidence and trust that adolescent Australian males have in their fathers and whether this contributes to the use of their father as a source of sexual health information. Data analysis explored differences in confidence, trust, and use of fathers as a source of sexual health information …

Sexuality, Breast Cancer Survivorship, and Script Theory
Perceptions and Interpretation of Contemporary Masculinities in Western Culture
The social construct of masculinity evolves in response to changes in society and culture. Orthodox masculinity is mostly considered to be hegemonic and is evidenced by the dominance of men over women and other, less powerful men. Contemporary shifts in masculinity have seen an emergence of new masculinities that challenge traditional male stereotypes. This systematic review aims to review and synthesize the existing empirical research on contemp…
Parent–child communication, sexuality and intergenerational conflict in multicultural and multifaith communities
Parent–child communication about gender and sexuality has received increasing attention since the late 1990s, in response to growing awareness that open dialogue plays a vital role in sex and relationships education, and improving sexual health outcomes for families and young people. However, the insights gained from this literature have been under-researched in Multicultural and Multifaith communities. Research of this kind is vital because such…
Changes in Sexuality Education Teacher Training Since the Release of the Australian Curriculum

National pedagogical guidance in the form of the Australian Curriculum: Health and Physical Education (AC: HPE), which includes RSE, was released in 2015. This study sought to determine the sexual health knowledge and school-based RSE experiences of Australian students since the release of the AC: HPE. It present…
Adolescent perspectives on addressing teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections in the classroom and beyond
Sex education both in and beyond the classroom has been shown to have the potential to ameliorate negative sexual health outcomes for adolescents. School-based sex education and sexual health services targeting young people should be informed, in part, by teenagers themselves. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 41 young people aged 13–22 years in a mid-sized midwest US city to inform such programme development. Analysis employed both …

Australian students’ experiences of sexuality education at school
Sexuality education is a trusted source of information and guidance for adolescents and young people on sexual health, sexuality and relationships, and it can improve the sexual health of this population. Such education is most effective when informed by the views of young people themselves; however, there is limited research that investigates young people’s experiences of school-based sexuality education. This paper presents findings related to …
The Tarascan (Purépecha) Empire
At the time of European contact, western Mexico was dominated by the Tarascos, who spoke a language called Purépecha. Never defeated by the bordering Aztec Empire, the Purépecha Empire instituted a bureaucratic system that was designed to extract tribute from subjects and to control political, economic, and social life throughout their territory. Archaeological research shows that existing societies in west Mexico were quickly co-opted by Purépec…
Mental Health Disparities Within the LGBT Population
Using the Minority Stress Model to Understand Depression in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Individuals in Nebraska
© 2014. Previous studies demonstrated the utility of the minority stress model in understanding health disparities for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) populations. Since most research has considered large metropolitan areas, predominantly in coastal regions of the United States, this research focuses on a midwestern state, Nebraska. This study sought to assess the relationships between depressive symptoms experienced by participant…
LGBT Health in the Midlands
Research into the health and wellbeing of rural lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) populations is limited. A community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach was used to develop an online survey for LGBT Nebraskans. The 770 participants replied to an array of questions on social determinants of health and basic health outcomes. Only significant differences in having health insurance were found between urban and rural participant…

Correlates of Suicide Ideation Among LGBT Nebraskans
The aim of this investigation is to outline correlates of suicide ideation among LGBT individuals living in Nebraska. A community-based participatory research approach was utilized to develop a 30-minute, online anonymous survey. Almost half of the sample had seriously considered suicide at some point in their lives. Significant correlates of increased likelihood of suicide ideation are age, gender, transgender identity, income, depression, and d…
Exploring sexuality education opportunities at in-home sex-toy parties in the United States
While debates about adolescent sexuality education persist in the United States, little attention has been paid to adult sexuality education. Research suggests that teachable moments may be present in interactions between adult bookstore employees and the consumers who shop at these venues. The purpose of this study was to explore the potential for in-home sex-toy parties as an avenue for adult sexuality education for women. A total of 1197 women…
Queer Youth Experiences with Abstinence-Only-Until-Marriage Sexuality Education
Abstinence-only-until-marriage sexuality education has received increasing attention vis-à-vis policy, funding, and research. Despite large sums of federal money to develop, implement, and to some extent, assess abstinence-only education, virtually no studies have looked to assess the experiences of such a curriculum for gay and bisexual male youth. This qualitative study explores narratives from semi-structured interviews of eight self-identifie…

High School Retention Rates and Social Class
Sixth form retention rates were calculated for each State high school in the Wollongong urban area and correlated with two measures of social class (education and occupation) in each high school feeder area. The study found that retention rates in the Wollongong Urban Area ranged from 12.94% to 31.04%. The rates vary directly with the proportions of the feeder area populations in professional and managerial occupations (r = 0.94, p
