“…Young men and women with more open sexual health communication have increased condom use [30,31] as well as more dual method use [31]. However, less than half of adolescents report any such communication with their dating partners [31], and young men report less communication regarding sexual topics than young women [32]. …”

Purpose of review Although teenage pregnancy is declining in many parts of the world, it remains associated with considerable social, health, and economic outcomes. Pregnancy prevention efforts focus primarily on young women, with minimal attention to young men. This review highlights recent literature pertaining to the role of young men in pregnancy prevention. Recent findings Young men have varying views on contraception as well as which partner(s) should be responsible for its use. Limited contraception knowledge reduces young men’s sexual health communication as well as their contraception use. Healthcare providers play a major role as one of the main sources of sexual health information for young men, but there are gaps in young men’s sexual health care so new guidelines have emerged. Summary Recent literature highlights young men’s range of views on contraception as well as their low sexual health knowledge and sexual health communication. To address teenage pregnancy and improve young men’s overall wellness, healthcare providers should routinely address sexual health. Healthcare providers may use our newly proposed acronym, Hello. Initiate. Sexual health assessment. Both condoms and female dependent methods. Examine genitals. STI screening. Talking to partner(s). Talking to parent(s) or guardians, to incorporate current clinical recommendations.

“…Among an ethnically diverse sample of young couples in the United States, it was found that if the woman has sexual partners outside of their relationship this negatively affects SSC (Albritton et al, 2014). With regards to male partners, as opposed to facilitating SSC as it was recorded among Latino couples in this review (Ashburn et al, 2008), among cohabitating couples in Kenya, if the male had other sexual partners, the couple was less likely to have discussed HIV prevention (Chiao et al, 2011).…”

Latina women in stable relationships have risks for human immunodeficiency virus and other sexually transmitted infections. Improving safe sexual communication (SSC) could enable women to accurately assess and mitigate their risk of infection within their relationship. Literature to identify psychosocial correlates that facilitate or inhibit SSC between Latina women and their partners has not yet been synthesized. The purpose of this study was to conduct an integrative review and synthesis of empirical and theoretical research that examines psychosocial correlates of SSC among adult Latina women from the United States, Latina America, and the Caribbean with stable male partners. A systematic search of LILACS, EBSCO, and PsychInfo databases was conducted to identify qualitative and quantitative studies that investigated psychosocial correlates of SSC among adult Latina women with a stable male partner. Pertinent data were abstracted and quality of individual studies was appraised. A qualitative synthesis was conducted following Miles and Huberman's method. Five qualitative and three quantitative studies meet eligibility criteria. Factors related to SSC related to three main themes: (1) relationship factors such as length, quality, and power/control, (2) individual factors including attitudes, beliefs, background, behaviors, and intrapersonal characteristics, and (3) partner factors related to partner beliefs and behaviors. The interplay of relationship, individual, and partner factors should be considered in the assessment of SSC for Latina women with their stable partners. To inform future interventions and clinical guidelines, additional research is needed to identify which factors are most related to SSC for this population, and how comparable experiences are for Latina women of different subcultures and living in different countries.

“…However, the same tendency was not identified in previous research regarding sexual communication with family and perceived social support from significant others. Thus, social support from and sexual communication with family can play a pivotal role in heightening sexual communication efficacy with significant others later in life (Albritton et al, 2014). However, once individuals are away from home and build new relationships outside the family of origin, their core support system tends to shift to friends and/or one's partner rather than family (Lee et al, 2020).…”

“…Sexual minorities who have family support are able to communicate with others and express their sexual identity more freely (Goldfried & Goldfried, 2001). Interestingly, family support also serves as a motivation to engage in sexual communication (Albritton et al, 2014). When the family environment is perceived as supportive, it positively reinforces parent-child sexual communication regardless of sexual identity (Booth-Butterfield & Sidelinger, 1998).…”

A collection of case studies that combine immersive technologies such as augmented and virtual reality in various contexts are introduced to outline some of the signals and trends in emerging interactive media. A series of authors share uses of AR/VR/MR in a wide range of fields including tourism, education, archeology, communication, and more. Common themes, affordance, and challenges are pulled out and used to extrapolate likely trends moving to the future. This work also starts to build an overall framework to evaluate immersive media implementation strategies and research methodologies.
