Youth Engagement to Prevent HIV/STI and Promote Sexual Health Study (YEP Study)
EF 2012-13
Résumé
Research shows that young people who experience racism, homophobia, sexism, and poverty are at higher risk of HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STI). It also shows that young people's sexual behaviours are shaped by societal gender and sexual norms, as well as local norms specific to their neighbourhoods and communities. These dominant norms make it difficult for young people to talk openly about their sexual health needs, or to seek HIV/STI testing, treatment, and care. This study responds to the above challenges by using an innovative approach to bring young people, service providers, community leaders, and researchers together. The goal is to form sustainable partnerships, build community capacity, and develop effective HIV prevention programs that enable young people to take control of their sexual health.
