. A thematic and critical literature review was conducted to determine what is known about adolescents' experiences with online sex education. Four major themes could be discerned from the literature, revealing that: (a) adolescents report engaging with sex information online; (b) adolescents are interested in a number of topics, including sexually transmitted infections and pregnancy; (c) the quality of adolescent-targeted sex information online can be lacking, but adolescents can evaluate these sources; and (d) Internet-based interventions can increase adolescents' sexual health knowledge. Inconsistencies in the literature are discussed and suggestions are made for future research.
