The purpose of this paper is to gain insight into justice-involved women's preferences for an internet-based Sexual Health Empowerment (SHE) curriculum.
DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: The authors analyzed data from four focus groups conducted with 52 women in a minimum-security county jail in a Midwestern US city.
Women reported daily access to the internet while in the community and use of the internet for searching about health concerns. Four themes emerged in the discussion about preferences for an internet-based SHE curriculum, that it cover healthy sexual expression, how to access resources, video as an educational modality and a non-judgmental approach.
Justice-involved women are potentially reachable through internet-based health education. Their preferences for content and modality can be used to inform internet-based sexual health programming designed specifically for this population. Using this modality could offer easily disseminated, low-cost and consistent messaging about sexual health for a vulnerable group of women.
ORIGINALITY/VALUE: Though internet-based health education programming has been widely utilized in the general population, less attention has been paid to if and how these programs could be utilized with a vulnerable group of women who move between the justice system and communities. This exploratory study begins to fill that gap.
本文旨在深入了解涉司法女性对基于互联网的性健康赋权（SHE）课程的偏好。
设计/方法/途径：作者分析了在美国中西部城市一个最低安全级别的县监狱中，与52名女性进行的四个焦点小组的数据。
女性报告称，在社区时每天都能上网，并利用互联网搜索健康问题。在关于基于互联网的SHE课程偏好的讨论中出现了四个主题，即课程应涵盖健康的性表达、如何获取资源、视频作为一种教育方式以及非评判性方法。
通过基于互联网的健康教育，有可能接触到涉司法女性。她们对内容和方式的偏好可用于为专门针对这一人群设计的基于互联网的性健康项目提供信息。采用这种方式可以为弱势群体中的女性提供易于传播、低成本且一致的性健康信息。
原创性/价值：尽管基于互联网的健康教育项目已在普通人群中广泛使用，但对于这些项目是否以及如何应用于在司法系统和社区之间流动的弱势女性群体，关注较少。这项探索性研究开始填补这一空白。
