Feasibility and Acceptability of Using Interactive Mobile Applications to Improve Sexual Health of Low-Income Adolescents Rebecca Dudovitz, MD, MS, Hillary Seidenberg David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA The Sexual Health Summit is a forum to share ideas and best practices with colleagues across Southern California who are working to improve the sexual health of youth and adults in the region. This event is designed to provide a place for people to come together to share ideas about addressing sexual health in one of the most diverse and populous areas of the nation. Mobile, touch screen tablets represent an attractive way to promote positive health behaviors and engage vulnerable populations in medical decision-making, however little is known about adolescent patient and provider perspectives on ipad health application (app) use to promote sexual health in clinical settings. We present findings from a study investigating the feasibility and acceptability of using interactive, individually tailored sexual health education apps to promote responsible sexual health behaviors of low-income adolescents attending two school-based health centers in Los Angeles.

Nourbese Flint, MA, Black Women for Wellness This interactive session will explore relationships as a social determinant of sexual health among young women of color through the lens of media. We will cover the ways sexual choices are influenced by popular culture through representations of women in various forms of media, how these images affect the way we feel about ourselves, and how stereotypes of women impact the ways we choose and the nature of our relationships. This workshop s goal is to spike a conversation about shifting the culture and imagery around sexuality and women in the media in order to foster healthier relationships. Cultural Influences on Sexual and Reproductive Health of Latino Youth Davida Becker, Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Southern California & Britt Rios-Ellis, Director and Professor, California State University Long Beach The session will consist of a panel of three presentations and an interactive discussion on cultural influences on the sexual and reproductive health of Latino youth. We will introduce the concept of culture and provide an overview of why cultural factors are important to sexual and reproductive health outcomes. Then, we will present findings from an empirical study that assessed longitudinal associations among a range of cultural factors and sexual risk behaviors among Latino youth in Los Angeles. Lastly, we will describe an innovative intergenerational sexual health intervention, Hablando Claro ( Clear Talk ), designed to reduce sexual risk behaviors and increase HIV testing among Latina youth and their mothers/adult caregivers. BREAKOUT SESSION #2 11:40 A.M. -12:40 P.M. Gender Norms & Sexual Health Nicole Ressa, Director of School-Based & Youth Programs & Michelle Horejs, School-Based Programs Manager Planned Parenthood Los Angeles Gender norms profoundly affect young people s ability to make and implement decisions regarding their sexual health. Young people who believe in gender equality tend to have better sexual health outcomes than their peers who do not. As such, it is important to address gender norms as a social determinant of sexual and reproductive health. In this workshop, we will explore how gender norms can affect power dynamics in relationships, using interactive activities to demonstrate this link. We will also introduce a rights-based framework as a springboard to helping teens better manage their sexual health.
