Young men who have sex with men (YMSM) between the ages of 13 and 24 are a key population for HIV prevention. The parents of gay, bisexual, and queer (GBQ) adolescent males and the sex communication they have with their sons has yet to be explored as an HIV prevention intervention. We developed an online video series called Parents ASSIST (Advancing Supportive and Sexuality-Inclusive Sex Talks) to educate parents about sexual health topics pertinent to GBQ males. We pilot tested the series with a sample of 54 parents of GBQ males using a single-group post-test design. Participants viewed the videos and completed a survey measuring the acceptability and feasibility of an online video series to educate parents. Most of the parents (70.4%) believed that the videos would make parents more likely to initiate talking about sex with their sons. The results suggest that online videos are an acceptable way for parents to learn about GBQ sexual health topics.
年龄在 13 至 24 岁之间的男男性行为者(MSM)是预防 HIV 的重点人群。同性恋、双性恋和酷儿(GBQ)青少年男性的父母,以及他们与儿子进行的性沟通,尚未被探索作为 HIV 预防干预措施。我们开发了一个名为“父母辅助”(Advancing Supportive and Sexuality-Inclusive Sex Talks)的在线视频系列,旨在教育父母有关与 GBQ 男性相关的性健康主题。我们使用单组后测设计,对 54 名 GBQ 男性的父母进行了试点测试。参与者观看了视频,并完成了一项调查,以衡量在线视频系列教育父母的可接受性和可行性。大多数父母(70.4%)认为,这些视频将使父母更有可能主动与儿子谈论性问题。结果表明,在线视频是父母学习有关 GBQ 性健康主题的一种可接受的方式。
