ABSTRACT
The researchers present a case study of their decade-long research into media literacy education for adolescent sexual health promotion. Takeaways from evaluating a media literacy education program series across different developmental stages in adolescence and using different pedagogical formats showcase that a media literacy education intervention can positively impact media attitudes and processing and sexual health knowledge, cognitions, and behaviors. Considering the ever-changing media landscape and shifts in adolescent media consumption and production, the researchers contend that media literacy education assumes a vital role in empowering young people to make informed and healthy sexual choices.
