The Youth Expectations and Standards in Sex (YESS) Study will assess the prevalence and diversity of rough sexual behaviors among AYA, explore which factors influence whether and how AYA engage in rough sex (e.

5 years. Research Fellow work on this project will involve (1) coding and analyzing qualitative data related to US AYAs experiences with the Covid-19 pandemic, including how the pandemic has impacted their sexual, mental, and physical health, (2) testing survey programming, and (3) contributing to manuscripts about study findings.

- assisting with development and maintenance of study protocols, forms, and assessments; assisting with coordination of Youth Advisory Board recruitment and meetings;
