Young people with migration experience and their (non) encounters with Swedish sexual and reproductive health services and information: An explorative study.

Although a growing body of literature has focused on the experience of young people with migration experience with Swedish sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, there is a lack of deep qualitative exploration. The study aims to explore the encounters of young people with migration experience with SRH services and their understandings of factors that affect their use of these services. The findings of this study were drawn from 18 interviews conducted between October 2021 and May 2023 in Southern Sweden.

Perceived knowledge gained from school-based sexuality education - results from a national population-based survey among young people in Sweden.

Background: School-based sexuality education is a core component of securing young people's right to attain health equity regarding sexual and reproductive health and rights.

Methods: The data material is drawn from a population-based survey conducted in Sweden in 2015.

Ask me, listen to me, treat me well and I shall tell: a qualitative study of Swedish youths' experiences of systematic assessment of sexual health and risk-taking (SEXIT).

Sexual ill health among young people, in terms of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), unintended pregnancy, transactional sex and sexual violence, is a global public health concern. To that end, the SEXual health Identification Tool (SEXIT) was developed. The purpose of this study was to explore the visitors' experiences of a youth clinic visit when SEXIT was used.

Analysing intersecting social resources in young people's ability to suggest safer sex - results from a national population-based survey in Sweden.

Background: Safer sex is one of the most crucial areas in sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Drawing on the theory of health promotion where social life generates resources for health our hypothesis is that having control over one's life situation, affects the ability for safer sex and thereby sexual health. The aim is to explore the association between having control over one's life and the ability to suggest safer sex among young people aged 16-29, and how this plays out in relation to membership of six constructed social groups based on: gender, transgender experience, sexual identity, economy, being foreign-born, and social welfare recipiency followed by an in-depth analysis of the intersection of gender and sexual identity.

Staff's experiences of a pilot implementation of the SEXual health Identification Tool for assessing sexual ill health among visitors to Swedish youth clinics: A focus group study.

The SEXual health Identification Tool (SEXIT) was developed for use at youth clinics, to facilitate identification of visitors exposed to or at risk of sexual ill health. The aim of this study was to explore experiences of using SEXIT among youth clinic staff who participated in a pilot implementation, with a focus on usefulness, implementation determinants, and feasibility of implementing SEXIT at Swedish youth clinics.

Thus, it is vital that nurses enable patient participation whenever possible. Patient participation, and it's clinical use in forensic psychiatric care, is an understudied field.

Identifying young people exposed to or at risk of sexual ill health: pilot implementation of an evidence-informed toolkit (SEXIT) at Swedish youth clinics.

Objectives: We aimed to develop and pilot-implement an evidence-informed toolkit (SEXual health Identification Tool; SEXIT) for identifying young people exposed to or at risk of sexual ill health, at Swedish youth clinics, and to investigate SEXIT's potential to identify young people in need of special care and monitoring.

Methods: The SEXIT toolkit was developed, validated and pilot-implemented at three Swedish youth clinics. Pre-implementation staff readiness was assessed and youth clinic visitors' responses to SEXIT were analysed.

Sexual health interventions for young people in state care: a systematic review.

Objectives: To describe evaluated sexual health interventions for young people in state care and provide an assessment of the quality of and evidence for these interventions.
