| 1. Gurman, Tilly. "Language Matters in Sex: Sexual Content in Spanish-language and English-language Fictional Narrative Television Programs Popular among Latino Adolescents" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the NCA 93rd Annual Convention, TBA, Chicago, IL, Nov 15, 2007 Online <PDF>. 2009-12-06 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p193937_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
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. |
