Social self-efficacy and sexual communication among adolescents in the United States: a cross-sectional study

This study found that adolescent girls who have greater social self-efficacy (or confidence in their ability to successfully manage social relationships) are more likely to be assertive and have greater self-efficacy to communicate with their partners about sex. Including a social self-efficacy-strengthening component within sexual health programs for adolescents may be warranted.
