This study investigated 86 Latino parents' intentions to communicate about sexuality issues with their children. They reported on their history of sexuality education, when they would first discuss sexuality-related topics, and their perceived effectiveness of each topic.

Suggestions for assisting Latino parents with communications regarding sexuality topics are provided.
