| contents | Motivators and Barriers to Sexual-Health Information Provision in High School Libraries: Perspectives from District-Level Library Coordinators and High School Principals Richey, Jennifer Delphi Technique Information Needs High Schools Adolescents School Libraries Librarians Principals Barriers Health Behavior Access to Information User Needs (Information) Adolescent Attitudes Adolescent Development Library Services Role Perception Coordinators Library Role Administrator Attitudes Sexuality Health Education Health Promotion Performance Factors Job Analysis Adolescents who receive current, accurate, reliable, and balanced sexual-health information are more likely to express healthier sexual attitudes and engage in healthier sexual behaviors than adolescents receiving limited or no sexual-health information. High school librarians have the potential to help meet sexual-health information needs of their adolescent patrons, thereby contributing to a healthier society. This Delphi study explored the role of high school librarians as sexual-health information provider, as perceived by two groups who supervise them: district-level library coordinators and high school principals. The two groups expressed conflicting expectations about high school librarians' playing this role. Members of the groups identified twelve motivators and five barriers to sexual-health information provision in high school libraries, both supporting and further contributing to previous findings of related research.
