Traditional approaches to improving adolescent sexual and reproductive health (ASRH) have focused on changing individual behavior, with little emphasis on addressing the factors that contribute to this behavior: biological changes; the influence of family and friends; the communities in which young people live; and access to economic and academic opportunities. This article provides an overview of the various factors that influence ASRH behaviors and outcomes and suggests an approach grounded in the principles of positive youth development to reduce risk factors and improve the protective factors that contribute to adolescents' successful and healthy transition into adulthood.
传统改善青少年性与生殖健康(ASRH)的方法侧重于改变个体行为,而很少强调解决导致这种行为的因素:生理变化;家人和朋友的影响;年轻人生活的社区;以及获得经济和学术机会的情况。本文概述了影响青少年性与生殖健康行为及结果的各种因素,并提出一种基于积极青少年发展原则的方法,以减少风险因素,改善有助于青少年成功且健康地过渡到成年期的保护因素。
