Abstract

BACKGROUND

South-East Asia Region has one of the largest youth populations in the world. All countries are striving to achieve the sustainable development goal by 2030; hence, it is important to prioritize healthcare services for youths. Youths in the age bracket of 18 to 24 years often engage in high-risk behaviors such as unsafe injecting practices/substance abuse. These high-risk practices lead to increased transmission of sexually transmitted infections including HIV among them. It is imperative to understand the dynamics around sexual transmission of diseases among youth. This review will map the available evidence and identify the gaps in sexual health interventions related to the sexual networks, sexual practices, and sexual health among youths across the World Health Organization (WHO)-South East Asia Region (SEAR).

METHODS

The scoping review is guided by the Arksey and Malley framework. Peer-reviewed articles focusing on youths in the age groups of 18 to 24 years, from the 11 countries of SEAR, will be accessed from three databases, namely PubMed, Scopus, and Journals@Ovid. Additionally, grey literature from 2015 to date will also be accessed. Two reviewers will independently screen the articles based on pre-defined eligibility criteria in Rayyan software. Data extraction will be carried out based on pre-specified variables aligned with the objectives. We will synthesize the evidence from the relevant qualitative, quantitative, and mixed method studies. The reporting will follow Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR).

DISCUSSION

This review will help to generate evidence focusing on the current sexual networks, sexual practices, and sexual health among youths in WHO SEAR with a focus on India, highlighting the gaps in sexual health interventions that need to be bridged. The insights from this review will assist in designing larger evidence-based intervention studies for improving the sexual networks, sexual practices, and sexual health among youths in this region. The findings from this review will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals and conferences.

摘要

背景

东南亚地区拥有世界上规模最大的青年人口之一。所有国家都在努力实现2030年可持续发展目标；因此，将青年医疗保健服务列为优先事项至关重要。18至24岁的青年经常从事高风险行为，如不安全的注射行为/药物滥用。这些高风险行为导致包括艾滋病毒在内的性传播感染在他们之间的传播增加。必须了解青年中疾病性传播的动态情况。本综述将梳理现有证据，并找出世界卫生组织（WHO）东南亚区域（SEAR）青年在性网络、性行为和性健康方面性健康干预措施中的差距。

方法

本范围综述以阿克西和马利框架为指导。将从三个数据库，即PubMed、Scopus和Journals@Ovid中获取聚焦于SEAR 11个国家18至24岁年龄组青年的同行评审文章。此外，还将获取2015年至今的灰色文献。两名评审员将根据Rayyan软件中预先定义的纳入标准独立筛选文章。将根据与目标一致的预先指定变量进行数据提取。我们将综合相关定性、定量和混合方法研究的证据。报告将遵循系统评价和Meta分析扩展的范围综述首选报告项目（PRISMA-ScR）。
