| Abstract: | The proliferation of online information sources, particularly regarding sex and sexuality, presents challenges for young people, educators, and policymakers in understanding how different cultural, socioeconomic, and minority groups access this information. The study explores disparities in seeking information about sex and sexuality among Arab and Jewish Israeli young adults. Findings from a survey of 303 participants aged 18–40 show that Jewish young adults consult more information sources than do Arab young adults. Socioeconomic status, gender, age, and religious status predict the sources used. The study emphasizes cultural and ethnic variations in healthcare access. Suggestions include culturally tailored sexuality education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
