“…Relying heavily on insights from LGBTQIA+ staff, we first identified which questions needed revision or expansion. From there, we integrated findings of published research from The Trevor Project and other equity-focused institutions, including Child Trends' resources on equity-centered survey design (33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38). We then proposed new measures and shared them with the LGBTQIA+ equity experts.…”

IntroductionAdolescent sexual health interventions are increasingly incorporating content that is inclusive of LGBTQIA+ youth (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, asexual, and other marginalized sexualities and genders). Evaluations of such programs must also be inclusive to enhance the validity of evaluation results and avoid further marginalization. We present strategies for increasing LGBTQIA±inclusivity based on our evaluation of SafeSpace, a sexual health curriculum.MethodsTo design an LGBTQIA±inclusive program evaluation, we leveraged LGBTQIA+ research staff’s insights, pursued a parental consent waiver, developed an inclusive recruitment plan, and crafted demographic and sexual behavior survey measures with input from youth and equity experts. We conducted a pilot study with 42 youth ages 14–17 to assess the feasibility and efficacy of our strategies.ResultsWe obtained a parental consent waiver and recruited a majority LGBTQIA+ pilot study sample (62%). Using themes from cognitive interviews with youth and experts regarding inclusive framing and use of plain language, we refined demographic measures and expanded sexual behavior measures.ConclusionFindings suggest that the strategies used to enhance LGBTQIA+ inclusivity in our evaluation of SafeSpace were effective in respectfully and more accurately capturing a fuller range of experiences and identities of LGBTQIA+ and cis-straight youth. The strategies and survey measures developed for this study can be applied to increase LGBTQIA±inclusivity in other adolescent sexual health program evaluations.

“…We used JBI to reach a consensus decision on selecting the articles. According to the JBI assessment result, 4 articles were moderate (29-32) and 4 were high quality (33)(34)(35)(36). In this review, we did not use meta-analysis due to the heterogeneity of the studies.…”

Background: There is an increasing need for sexual well-being and health promotion strategies that effectively engage men. Researchers have evaluated the efficacy of sexual and reproductive health-related and marital enhancement interventions in maledominated societies. However, few have focused on culturally appropriate and genderspecific program effects. Objective: This review aims to evaluate evidence of existing interventions aimed at enriching marital relationships and sexual well-being in adult men. Materials and Methods: This scoping review was conducted by searching various databases (CINAHL, PsycINFO, EMBASE, Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, SID, and Noormags), and other available resources in both English and Persian languages. We located all publications up to January 2023 with no time restriction. Inclusion criteria were studies targeting men in the enrichment of marital and sexual relationships, which focus on marital/sexual enrichment, Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) program, passionate relationship, or sexual satisfaction as the main outcomes. PRISMA guidelines were utilized in this review. Results: Of records 34,405 retrieved by searching, after removing duplicate articles, 8 articles were included based on the inclusion criteria. SRH program was the main focus of 6 articles. Marital and sexual enhancement were common areas of focus in 2 studies. Research methods included 2 semi-experimental, 3 clinical trials, 1 systematic review, 1 content analysis, and a mixed method. According to the assessment result, 4 articles were moderate and 4 were of high quality. Conclusion: Our findings reveal that a small number of interventions specifically offering SRH or marital and sexual enhancement programs to men should be conducted. As the majority were heterosexual couples, we recommend male-focused programs recognizing men’s sexuality. Key words: Sexual health, Men, Marriage, Health promotion.
