The team will meta-analyze literature on adolescent sexual health to assess the relationships between condom use and approximately 30 psychosocial variables, such as HIV\/STD knowledge, sex education, and partner attitudes. The team will also study potential moderators, such as age and gender, of the relationships between the psychosocial variables and adolescent condom use.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCurrently, we are systematically reviewing over two decades of literature on adolescent health promotion to identify articles for inclusion in this meta-analysis,\u201d said Evans-Paulson.<\/p>\n<p>The findings of this meta-analysis will provide necessary information to effectively target adolescent audiences in sexual health promotion efforts.
