摘要
The objective was to determine how the Internet is used to promote sexual health among adolescents. Six key words were entered into three search engines producing 87,180 results. Three percent (n = 36) were educational Web sites targeted at teenagers and covered a range of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). These were content analyzed using sexuality education and usability guidelines. All sites addressed some STD information, but only two covered negotiation. Navigability results were mixed; only one third offered a site map. Sexual health educators may need to include more information on how to negotiate safe sex and improve Web navigability for teenagers.
