Teen Sexual Self Defense

By Douglas Shantam Marans and Ph.D. Marans

This book is intended to assist teens to avoid unhealthy sexual situations. It stresses knowledge, beliefs, and skills. The interventions are medically accurate and age appropriate, and based on evidence-based research. It is based on three theories: 1) Social Learning - Individuals will avoid problems, if they can observe appropriate and inappropriate behaviors, and role play situations. 2) Health Belief Model - Individuals will take preventive measures, based on the seriousness of the problem and the costs, and benefits of the action needed. 3) Self Efficacy - Individuals will choose an appropriate option to be successful (e.g., will choose abstinence or condom use).
