To determine the feasibility of a mobile health (mHealth), media literacy education program, Media Aware, for improving sexual health outcomes in older adolescent community college students.
184 community college students (ages 18-19) participated in the study from April-December 2015.
Eight community college campuses were randomly assigned to either the intervention or a wait-list control group. Student participants from each campus completed web-based pretest and posttest questionnaires. Intervention group students received Media Aware in between questionnaires.
Several intervention effects of the Media Aware program were significant, including reducing older adolescents' self-reported risky sexual behaviors; positively affecting knowledge, attitudes, normative beliefs, and intentions related to sexual health; and increasing media skepticism. Some gender differences in the findings were revealed.
The results from this study suggest that Media Aware is a promising means of delivering comprehensive sexual health education to older adolescents attending community college.
确定一项移动健康(mHealth)媒体素养教育项目“媒体意识”(Media Aware)对于改善大龄青少年社区大学生性健康状况的可行性。
2015年4月至12月,184名社区大学生(年龄在18 - 19岁之间)参与了该研究。
八个社区大学校园被随机分为干预组或等待名单对照组。每个校园的学生参与者完成基于网络的前测和后测问卷。干预组学生在两次问卷之间接受“媒体意识”项目。
“媒体意识”项目的几个干预效果显著,包括减少大龄青少年自我报告的危险性行为;对与性健康相关的知识、态度、规范信念和意图产生积极影响;以及增强对媒体的怀疑态度。研究结果显示出一些性别差异。
本研究结果表明,“媒体意识”是为就读于社区大学的大龄青少年提供全面性健康教育的一种有前景的方式。
