Health Psychology and Human Sexuality Health psychology is a that seeks to understand the and behaviors of people . feeling competent to engage in certain behaviors , plays a central role in determining the actions people will take based on a number of social , interpersonal , personal , and structural factors . Health psychology explores ways that public health workers and medical providers can communicate effectively to not reproduce social stigma and shame and ways that educational materials can be developed utilizing health communication techniques to make them more relevant and representative of the target audience . Take for instance the pandemic , to outreach to community members , public health departments needed to make sure testing and vaccination information was available in the languages spoken by the populations who needed the information and that the testing and vaccination sites had staff who were able to communicate with the public effectively . In many cases , partnering with local agencies , such as local chapters of the ( National Association for the Advancement of Colored People ) or ( the League of United Latin American Citizens ) was vital to the success of the public outreach campaign . The intersecting identities of the target audiences of health information need to be represented in the outreach materials , and centering the voices of those who identify as members of the target audience is a priority . Relating this to human sexuality , health psychology is utilized to attempt to predict risky sexual behaviors and develop interventions to alter behaviors toward being safer . Sex education in high school as well as public service announcements are ways to educate the public . More specific campaigns can be utilized when there is an outbreak of certain within communities or when therapists are creating brochures for their offices to normalize sexual and inform the public about possible treatments . This course will be focused on developing educational tools for specific populations with intersecting identities in mind to make the messages more relevant and representative in order to address gaps in human sexuality outreach . 161
