Les technologies de l'information et de la communication (TIC) et la promotion de la santé sexuelle auprès des adolescents et jeunes adultes : au-delà de l'efficacité

Background: Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) is an important aspect of human health. Despite several decades of sexual education and promotion of safer sexual practices, adolescents and young adults' SRH remains poor. Information and communication technologies (ICT) are especially popular with young people, thus proposing a promising avenue for SRH promotion. However, before rolling out ICT interventions, we need to know whether ICT interventions are effective for the promotion of sexual & reproductive health in adolescents and young adults. Methods: A knowledge synthesis was carried out on the effectiveness of ICT intervention for the promotion of sexual health among adolescents and young adults. During this process, the studies that reported the views of the participants in interventions have been gathered to highlight the factors that influence the adoption of such intervention. Results : Adolescents and young adults were comfortable with ICT interventions and found them useful and interesting. Conclusion : This should be taken into account by the actors working to improve the sexual health of adolescents and young adults.
