“…[ 1 2 ] Involvement in high-risk behaviors during adolescence, especially in boys, has also redoubled,[ 3 ] resulting in higher morbidity and mortality rates. [ 4 ] Sexual and reproductive health issues such as unintended pregnancies as well as infection with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) virus and hepatitis B are thus known worldwide to be the leading causes of deaths among adolescents. Many of these deaths can be prevented; therefore, widespread global efforts are required to promote the adolescent health status.…”

Background: Adolescence is a period of rapid physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and sexual development. The widening gap between biological maturity and social transition to adulthood highlights the importance of adolescents' need for education, especially in sexual health. The main objective of this study was to explore the facilitators of Sexual Health Education (SHE) for male adolescents in Iran. Materials and Methods: In this qualitative content analysis, a total number of 45 participants were investigated from June 2018 to July 2019 through individual, semi-structured, in-depth interviews in the city of Mashhad, Iran, until data saturated. The participants were selected using a purposive sampling method. The data were analyzed using a conventional content analysis method based on the approach developed by Graneheim and Lundman (2004) using MAXQDA software. Results: In data analysis, 2 main categories and 9 subcategories emerged. The main categories included extrapersonal facilitators and intrapersonal facilitators. The category of extrapersonal facilitators included the 7 subcategories of appropriate policy-making, use of religious capacities, consideration of native culture, supportive family environment, school empowerment, inter-sectoral integration and collaboration, and reinforcement of parent-teacher interaction. The category of intrapersonal facilitators comprised of the 2 subcategories of supporting adolescent socialization and using distraction techniques in adolescents. Conclusions: The study revealed that having an action plan with a scientific, ethical, legal, religious, and cultural background, establishing a suitable home, school, and community environment, strengthening inter-sectoral integration, collaboration, and interpersonal coordination, and utilizing the capabilities and potentials of adolescents can provide an appropriate SHE for adolescent boys.

“…However, parents often underestimate the likelihood of their child partaking in risk behaviors, including tobacco use . For example, total of 10 health‐related risk behaviors, including screen time, sugary beverage consumption, and sex, parents were least concerned with tobacco use . Low concern could be due to lack of awareness of novel tobacco products or consequences of their use …”

BACKGROUND In this study, we determined the prevalence of and factors associated with parent unawareness of youth tobacco use. METHODS We used data from waves 1, 2, and 3 (2013‐2016) of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health study, a nationally representative study of 13,650 US youth ages 12 to 17 and their parents. We conducted weighted multivariate analyses comparing parent unawareness of youth‐reported ever use and associations between parents' unawareness of youth use and covariates. RESULTS Youth ever tobacco use ranged from 21.8% in 2013‐2014, to 24.1% in 2014‐2015, to 23.4% in 2015‐2016. Parent unawareness ranged from 57.6% in 2013‐2014, to 61.9% in 2014‐2015, and 64.5% in 2015‐2016. Factors associated with higher parent unawareness of youth tobacco use in 2015‐2016 were youth being female, black, or Hispanic (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 1.24‐2.61; all ps < .05). Youth with lower academic performance, relatives who used tobacco, tobacco available in the home, or past 30‐day use, were less likely to have parents unaware of their use (AORs 0.33‐0.56; all ps < .05). CONCLUSIONS Among youth who reported ever using tobacco, most had parents who were unaware of their use. School‐based efforts targeting specific sociodemographic factors could increase parent awareness of youth tobacco use.
