Abstract Although theater-based interventions have emerged as an innovative health education platform, more research is needed to understand how these interventions work and to identify factors that make them successful and replicable in adolescent populations. This paper discusses the first research project conducted on High School Sex Squads (HSSS), which use monologues, skits, songs, dance, spoken word, and other forms of performance art to approach broad topics related to sex, sexuality, and gender. Using focus groups with students and key informant interviews with adult stakeholders, this pilot study explores HSSS with a dual focus on program implementation and impact on High School Sex Squad members. These findings will be translated to real-life program improvement to ensure optimal implementation as the program continues to expand.

洛杉矶高中基于剧院的性健康干预的影响和实施的定性评估

摘要尽管基于剧院的干预已经成为一种创新的健康教育平台，但仍需要进行更多的研究以了解这些干预的工作原理，并确定使这些干预在青少年人群中成功和可复制的因素。本文讨论了在高中性行为小组（HSSS）上进行的第一个研究项目，该项目使用独白，短剧，歌曲，舞蹈，口语和其他形式的表演艺术来探讨与性，性和性别有关的广泛话题。该试点研究使用与学生的焦点小组讨论以及对成人利益相关者的关键信息访问者，探索了HSSS，并双重关注了项目实施和对高中性小组成员的影响。这些发现将转化为现实生活中的计划改进，以确保随着计划的不断扩展而实现最佳实施。
