Media Aware Parent was initially developed as a prototype as part of a successful Phase I SBIR grant from NICHD. The interactivity and content of the web-based program was created with input and feedback from youth and parents, as well as experts in the fields of sexual health promotion, child development, and instructional design.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have found that popular media provides numerous \u201cteachable moments\u201d for parents to initiate conversations with their children about sexual health issues and that by talking about relationships in the media it makes for a much more comfortable way to discuss these issues for both parents and children,\u201d notes Dr. Scull.<\/p>\n

Media Aware Parent will feature audios of real parents and teens discussing a wide variety of topics related to sexual health. Further, the program will include resources that parents can share with their children to help the children learn about pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, contraception, and protection.<\/p>\n

An experiment will be conducted to evaluate the impact of the program on increasing parents\u2019 knowledge about sexual health issues. Parents\u2019 feelings of readiness and comfort to initiate conversations on these topics with their teenage children will also be assessed. At the conclusion of this project, iRT will release a commercially-available version of the program for parents to purchase.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany parents are anxious about bringing up sex and relationships with their children, yet parents are one of the most important influences on their children. On a regular basis, I hear from parents about how desperate they are for help in having these conversations,\u201d said Dr. Scull. \u201cThis program has the potential to equip parents with the information and tools they need to talk to their teens about these health topics in meaningful, effective, health-enhancing conversations.\u201d<\/p>\n
