About this Event
Structural racism and discrimination may increase adverse sexual and reproductive health (SRH) behaviors, such as younger age at sexual debut, more lifetime sexual partners, and inconsistent condom use. However, the influence of racism and discrimination on sexual health factors has not been well explored in Black adolescent girls. This presentation will review social and structural contributors and describe data from an NIH funded study examining the impact of racism and discrimination on sexual health indicators of Black girls.
