In the United States, Latine adolescents aged 14–24 face disproportionately high rates of negative sexual health outcomes, such as sexually transmitted infections (STIs), HIV, and higher birth rates. Although considerable research highlights racial and ethnic disparities, much of this work is limited, which treats Latine adolescents as a monolithic group, overlooking the rich diversity in culture, background, and lived experiences. The lack of studies focused specifically on first generation immigrants is a key gap this systematic review aims to address. This review will examine the sexual health outcomes of first generation Latine adolescent immigrants and compare them to those of their non–first generation immigrant peers.
A comprehensive literature search was conducted using databases such as Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Communication Source. Studies were included if they focused on adolescents, reported at least one sexual or reproductive health behavior or cognition outcome, disaggregated results by immigrant generation, used a U.S.-based sample, and used a quantitative research design. A total of 13 articles met our inclusion criteria. Final analysis will be completed this summer, with results ready for the conference. This review aims to explore differences in sexual health outcomes between first and non–first generation Latine adolescents and highlight persistent research gaps.
