Thriving at the Intersection: Integrating Social Determinants of Health and Sexual Health Education to Achieve Positive Outcomes for Youth

Abstract

Social determinants of health are the key to understanding and addressing persistent disparities in adolescent pregnancy in the United States. However, there is little guidance on what concrete steps organizations can take to work at the intersection of social determinants of health (SDoH) and sexual and reproductive health (SH). Two community-based organizations completed a case study using a structured interview guide to illustrate their transition working at this intersection. The Alexandria Campaign on Adolescent Pregnancy and Identity, Inc. arrived at the intersection of SDoH and SH from opposite ends of the road. Despite clear differences in their trajectory, their experiences share four key elements that marked their success in expanding their core work: (a) both organizations enjoyed ample community and political support, (b) they used data to drive strategic decisions, (c) they used funding opportunities to move toward the intersection of sexual health and social determinants, and (d) they leveraged existing programs to sustain their efforts. Organizations working at the intersection must continuously leverage community, political, and financial capital to pursue partners, expand services, and change policies that sustain a holistic approach to youth health and well-being.

Affirmative Consent: What Do College Student Leaders Think About “Yes Means Yes” as the Standard for Sexual Behavior?

Affirmative consent (AC) is becoming the standard for sexual behavior between students. However, little is known about how college students interpret and practice AC. We conducted in-depth, semistructured interviews with a purposeful sample of 31 undergraduate students to understand students' perceptions of AC and how it was practiced in their sexual relationships.

Despite knowledge about AC, many student leaders thought that it was an unrealistic expectation for students. This suggests that college sexual health education needs to clearly articulate actions that are consistent with AC and indicate how these can be incorporated into students' sexual behavior.     

Counteracting fabricated anti-gay public pedagogy in Uganda with strategic lifelong learning as critical action

Political, cultural and social fallout following the introduction of the anti-homosexuality bill in Uganda in 2009 intensified fabrication of an anti-gay public pedagogy of negation and nemesis that fuelled the passage of the Anti-Homosexuality Act, 2014. The Government of Uganda, conventional Anglicanism and US evangelical Christianity were all implicated in developing this homophobic public pedagogy. This article provides an extensive account of what transpired to result in prohibition of lifelong learning focused on Ugandan sexual minorities. In the face of this prohibition, the article calls for lifelong learning as critical action constructed as strategic public counter-pedagogy aimed at recognizing and accommodating sexual minorities in the face of homophobia. This critically progressive counter-pedagogy would include a pragmatic turn to comprehensive health education as a starting point for inclusive, holistic learning. The article also considers the important role that media could play in this work. It explores contemporary realities of advancing and deploying lifelong learning as critical action in Uganda, examining the current dire state of education in the nation. It concludes by considering the status of Uganda’s tenacious quest to entrench gay apartheid amid what is now a growing trend toward global gay inclusion.     

苗族民间巫蛊文化视野中的性爱观念

由于认识能力的限制,苗族社会普遍存在着巫蛊方面的民间信仰。有人幻想通过巫术使异性受到诱惑,认为此术可以感应并取悦异性。性爱巫术属于一种鲜为人知的“秘术”,其表现形式多种多样。勾魂巫术实际上是人魂合一观念的表现形式,而用某些动物、植物配制成爱药来激发所迷恋对象的性爱、性欲和性力,也是此种巫术常见的形式。由性爱巫术引申出来的有关“蛊”的迷信思想,始终影响着苗族的性爱观念。

阶层差异与教育获得--一项关于教育分流的实证研究

在市场化进程中，自致性因素对于社会阶层结构的建构作用逐步加强成为学界的普遍共识，而教育则被认为是自致因素的最好度量。那么是否存在一个内在于社会阶层结构本身的阶层化机制呢？通过对既有社会阶层结构对教育获得影响的经验分析，或许可以对这样的机制存在与否做一个透视。经验分析的结果表明，既有的阶层差异在一定程度上以一定的方式影响着人们教育的获得。这一结果或许可以表明，在自致作用的背后阶层结构的自我再生产还在一定程度上存在，因而对其进行适当的调节是必须的。
