This study examined care providers' views on young people's sexual health in the digital age. Young people have high rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), indicating sexual risk-taking behaviours. Adolescents transitioning to adulthood may be particularly at risk due to increased sexual behaviour and exposure to risk factors for unsafe sex, such as less parental monitoring. These risks may be accentuated in the digital age, where the availability of dating apps and pornography have potentially influenced young people's sexual behaviours. Care providers give a unique insight into sexual health in the digital age as they are able to identify changes over time.Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted with general practitioners, nurses, counsellors and university residential college staff (N = 15, six female) who work with young people aged 17 and 18. Interviews took 20-40 min, and were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Transcripts were coded by the primary researcher and an independent coder using thematic analysis.We identified four themes depicting predictors for sexual risk-taking among young people: media influence on norms (influence on sexual behaviours, relationships and appearance), transition to adulthood (independence, social opportunity), communication difficulties (gender and sexuality differences, greater fear of pregnancy than STIs), and impulsive behaviour (disinhibition, substance use).Findings highlight targets for prevention of sexual risk-taking among adolescents, such as addressing changing norms depicted in media. Further, the complex interplay of contextual and individual factors highlights the need for more comprehensive theory and holistic approaches to STI prevention.
