R epresentations of sexual and reproductive health in mass media offer one indicator of women’s relative position and value as women in a given society (Bronstein 2005). Media sources also disseminate health messages, influencing people’s health choices and health behaviors (Wakefield, Loken, andHornik 2010). This essay relies on a content analysis of forty-three articles published between August 28, 2015, and June 28, 2017, in Lebanon that used key terms related to reproductive health, sexual health, and breastfeeding.We systematically culled the articles from nine Lebanese newspapers (eight in Arabic) published online. Of these forty-three accounts, nineteen were by men, three were by women, one was coauthored by a man and a woman, and the remaining twenty did not include an author name. With the exception of an account by a woman targeting a male audience, the remainder presumed a female reader. Articles that discussed refugees focused primarily on controlling fertility rates and maternal birth complications. None of the accounts discussed unwanted pregnancies or abortion. Researchers often use content analysis to analyze newspaper reporting on health issues (e.g., Abdelmutti and Hoffman-Goetz 2009; Clement and Foster 2008; Downe-Wamboldt 1992). We obtained the articles from the Knowledge to Policy Center at the Faculty of Health Sciences of the American University of Beirut, which tracks Lebanese newspaper articles on health topics on a daily basis. We searched for the following key terms: breastfeeding, sex work, international women’s day, LGBT, midwife, preterm deliveries, refugees, reproductive health, sexual health, abortion, and Syrian refugees. In examining the articles, we focused on topic, perspective and impression left, mention (or not) of prevention and

黎巴嫩性与生殖健康的最新新闻报道

大众媒体对性健康和生殖健康的表述提供了一个指标，可以表明女性在特定社会中作为女性的相对地位和价值（Bronstein 2005）。媒体来源还传播健康信息，影响人们的健康选择和健康行为（Wakefield、Loken 和 Hornik，2010 年）。本文基于对 2015 年 8 月 28 日至 2017 年 6 月 28 日在黎巴嫩发表的 43 篇文章的内容分析，这些文章使用了与生殖健康、性健康和母乳喂养相关的关键术语。在线出版的报纸（八份阿拉伯文）。在这四十三个帐户中，十九个是男人的，三个是女人的，一个是一男一女合着的，剩下的二十个没有作者的名字。除了一位女性针对男性受众的账户外，其余账户均假定为女性读者。讨论难民的文章主要集中在控制生育率和产妇分娩并发症上。没有一个帐户讨论意外怀孕或堕胎。研究人员经常使用内容分析来分析关于健康问题的报纸报道（例如，Abdelmutti 和 Hoffman-Goetz 2009；Clement 和 Foster 2008；Downe-Wamboldt 1992）。我们从贝鲁特美国大学健康科学学院的知识到政策中心获得了这些文章，该中心每天跟踪黎巴嫩报纸上关于健康主题的文章。我们搜索了以下关键术语：母乳喂养、性工作、国际妇女节、LGBT、助产士、早产、难民、生殖健康、性健康、堕胎和叙利亚难民。在审查文章时，我们重点关注主题、观点和留下的印象，提及（或不提及）预防和
