- Abstract
The current study examined the efficacy of an affirmative group cognitive behavioral intervention on the sexual self-efficacy of sexual and gender minority youth (SGMY). SGMY (n=30) between the age of 15 and 18 participated in a series of eight cognitive behavioral-focused groups that included the creation of a sexual safety plan. They also completed measures on sexual self-efficacy before and after the intervention. Paired sample t-test was chosen as the method of analysis. The results indicated a statistically significant increase in protection sexual self-efficacy but not in abstinence sexual self-efficacy post intervention. The current study concluded that affirmative groups that utilize cognitive behavioral therapy show promise for SGMY. Group content and process is detailed, and key components of groups designed to improve the sexual health of SGMY are discussed.
