A scoping review of suggested practices for healthcare providers when discussing sexuality with youth
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Addressing sexuality can support youth to thrive with positive development. Healthcare providers (HCPs) are uniquely positioned to offer such support given their professional knowledge and relationship with youth. This paper aims to identify and summarize suggestions to support HCPs to discuss sexuality with youth. A scoping review methodology was used and 17 studies were identified from four databases (i.e., Embase, Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO). Six suggestions for practice were identified, including (i) establish a trusting relationship; (ii) create a safe and comfortable environment; (iii) ask for consent and keep conversation confidential; (iv) initiate the conversation; (v) use inclusive language; and (vi) discuss the psychosocial aspect of sexuality. It was also found that youth with a disability or chronic condition were under-represented in the literature. Future research should evaluate the clinical utility of these suggestions and how suggestions can be adapted to meet the sexuality needs of youth with a disability.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
