“…This highlights the need for school nurses to be trained in providing culturally competent care to diverse patients, including SGM youth. Similar to Rose and Friedman (2016), cultural competency training should begin during undergraduate studies and continuing education should be offered regularly to ensure school nurses are prepared and knowledgeable about health issues that impact SGM youth. Second, findings suggest that it would be beneficial for nurses to work with colleagues to update schools' current sexual health curricula to be inclusive of SGM individuals.…”

Sexual and gender minority (SGM) youth are at disproportionate risk for HIV. Schools play an integral role in educating young people about sexual health in addition to providing sexual health services. This qualitative study examined SGM youths' perception of school sexual health education and services. A total of 42 self-identified African American SGM males participated in focus groups or in an in-depth interview. Qualitative findings revealed that schools are missing the opportunity to educate SGM youth about sexual health. Youth participants noted several barriers to accessing sexual health education and services at schools including limited, targeted health information and school nurses not being knowledgeable of health issues that impact SGM youth. Participants noted that school sexual health services are not adequately marketed to students and sometimes do not include testing for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. Suggestions for future research and implications for school nurses and sexual health services are discussed.

“…The lack of information targeted at parents of those most likely to be infected with HIV was the focus of Rose et al. 's study . Ten in‐depth interviews were conducted with parents of young men who have sex with men to identify their information needs, analysis indicating that parents need to have access to HIV prevention information to reduce the risk of HIV infection in family members.…”

Narrowing the gap between what we want to achieve as writings - publishing a report of our project - and what we achieve as readers - finding a study to inform our practice - can be challenging. One solution in enabling us to achieve this goal is to learn from close reading the writing of others, including writing in development. Close reading, appraisal in its broadest term, encourages us to articulate what we, putting us in touch with how an author has organised information, selected their words and structured their arguments.

“…Although many of these parents described a process through which they eventually became closer to their children by seeking education about LGBTQ issues, the period immediately after coming out may be a time during which LGBTQ youth are particularly vulnerable to negative health outcomes. With regard to sexual health, studies have found that many parents avoid discussing sexuality with their gay or bisexual male teens because they are uncomfortable talking about same-sex sexuality (LaSala, 2015) or because they lack knowledge about these issues (Rose & Friedman, 2016). However, general perceptions of parent-child closeness (as reported by both the parent and teen) are associated with less sexual risk behavior (LaSala, 2007, 2015), indicating that supportive relationships may buffer against negative sexual health outcomes.…”

“I Have No Idea What’s Going On Out There:” Parents’ Perspectives on Promoting Sexual Health in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Adolescents

et al. 2018

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and other sexual and gender minority (LGBTQ) adolescents experience higher rates of negative sexual health outcomes relative to their heterosexual and cisgender peers. Healthy parent-adolescent relationships and effective parenting are robust predictors of sexual health in heterosexual adolescents, but very little is known about barriers to and facilitators of effective parenting from the perspective of parents of LGBTQ adolescents. This study conducted online focus groups with 44 parents of LGBTQ adolescents in order to describe the factors influencing effective sexual health communication and parental monitoring in this population. Parents described generally positive relationships with teens, but many noted they went through a transition process in which they struggled with their child's identity and were less supportive of their LGBTQ teen. Lack of understanding about LGBTQ-specific sexuality was a commonly endorsed barrier to effective communication, and this was most commonly endorsed by parents of cisgender girls. Parents of cisgender boys and transgender/gender-nonconforming teens described fears about long-term sexual health (i.e., sexual predators, consent) as a barrier to parental monitoring. Parents of LGBTQ adolescents need information and skills to optimize their teen's sexual health. Parent-based programs for LGBTQ adolescents are long overdue for addressing these issues.

HIV information needs of parents of young men who have sex with men

Abstract: Delivery of tailored HIV prevention information to parents may be effective in helping combat HIV among YMSM. Given that YMSM bear the greatest burden for HIV, this study highlights the need to include parents of YMSM in future interventions aimed at reducing YMSM's risk of HIV/AIDS.
