Research, development and national dissemination of the SEXIT method for young people
SEXIT (SEXual health Identification Tool) is a scientifically developed method that aims to identify and offer relevant care and support to young people who are sexually at risk or vulnerable and/or people with experience of violence. The method can be used as part of the student health staff's health talks with students in junior high and high school, but also by other activities that meet young people.
In the research part of the project, SEXIT is evaluated as part of the health conversation from the perspective of both the staff and the student. Among other things, we are looking for answers to young people's experiences of the talks, what they have told professionals about and what support they have received or wanted. The evaluation is a collaboration between the Knowledge Center for Sexual Health in the Västra Götaland region, Oslo Met and Högskolan Väst. The results of the evaluation must be published scientifically and used as a basis for further development and dissemination of the method nationally. Responsible is the Knowledge Center for Sexual Health, VGR.
The project is a continuation of the following project.
