Adolescent condom negotiation: a concept analysis and conceptual framework

The findings of this study will help researchers, nurses, doctors, and sexual health educators design more precise measurements and focused interventions for teenagers, especially in environments with high STI and teenage pregnancy burdens and gendered power inequalities. Operationalizing adolescent condom negotiation marks a critical step toward advancing adolescent sexual health research and practice. A clear, evidence-based definition supports targeted education and interventions to promote consistent condom use among adolescents, thereby reducing the risks of sexually transmitted infections STIs and unintended pregnancies.
