10. Understanding African American Youth and Adult Perspectives on Sex Education in Rural North Carolina

Author

Abstract

African American youth in the US rural South are at elevated risk for poor sexual health outcomes, including sexually transmitted infections and teenage pregnancy. Historically, the southeastern USA has lagged behind in providing comprehensive sexuality-based education in secondary school, which may contribute to poor reproductive and sexual health outcomes. This study aimed to understand the perspectives of African American youth and adults on comprehensive sexuality-based education in rural North Carolina. Twenty-four individuals (12 youth and 12 adults) participated in both semi-structured interviews and small discussion groups. Data were analysed and coded using inductive and deductive approaches to thematic analysis. Results indicated that comprehensive sexuality-based education was viewed as highly desirable; however, current efforts were seen as insufficient. While both young people and adults agreed that abstinence was the most desirable path for youth, participants also acknowledged young people's autonomy in engaging in sexual activity and suggested that comprehensive sexuality-based education was needed to protect against unintended consequences. The findings of this study have practical implications for addressing challenges associated with providing sexuality-based education to African American youth in rural communities and offers suggestions regarding directions for future research.

Abstract

Clinical research increasingly relies upon the availability of appropriate genetic materials; however, the proportion of biospecimens from racial/ethnic minority patients and healthy controls are underrepresented, which preclude equitable research across all patient groups for cancer treatment. National Cancer Institute-funded Community Network Program Centers in California, Florida, and New York collaborated with local community partners to conduct three independent formative research studies with diverse (African American, Asian American, Hispanic, and White) participants to explore their knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about biobanking, and their experiences with the donation of biospecimens. Our findings demonstrated similarities in overall low knowledge and understanding about the use of biospecimens for research. This was exacerbated for non-English speakers. Racial and ethnic groups differed with regard to a number of factors that are obstacles for participation, e.g., continuing medical mistrust (African Americans), lack of benefit (Hispanics), apprehension about the physical toll of donating (Vietnamese), usage of biospecimen for research (Hmong and Chinese), and suspicion of exploitation by corporate entities (Whites). However, participants uniformly reported general interest and willingness to participate in biobanking for altruistic purposes, particularly to benefit future generations. This interest was framed with a strong admonition that donations should be accompanied by transparency about study sponsorship and ownership, distribution and use of biospecimens, and study information that fit participants' backgrounds and experiences. This cross-cultural regional analysis offers significant insights into the similarities and variations in opinions and perceptions about biobanking and the collection of biospecimens for use in cancer research.
