Exploring Parental Intentions to Use Digital Tools to Enhance Parent-Child Sexual Communication in Europe: Cross-Sectional Questionnaire Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Parent-child communication about sexuality education is critical for safe adolescent sexual development and well-being. Yet, there is evidence that these conversations are often ineffective. Digital tools have therefore emerged as promising interventions that may assist parents in addressing sensitive or difficult topics. However, our understanding of the factors that may motivate parental adoption of these technologies remains limited.

Objective

This study aimed to explore factors associated with European parents' intentions to use a digital tool designed to support parent-child sexual communication and complement school-based sexuality education. The study was conducted across the United Kingdom, Belgium, and Italy.

Methods

Using the technology acceptance
