Abstract:

Latino adolescents watch more television than White peers and are disproportionately affected by teen births. This study catalogues sexual content prevalence in Spanish- and English-language television programs popular among Latino adolescents. Sexual content was ubiquitous, although sexual risk/responsibility was rare. Moreover, differences for specific subtypes of sexual content existed between English- and Spanish-language scenes. Health interventions, therefore, should teach Latino youth media literacy skills related to how sex is depicted in Spanish- and English-language programs.
