Abstract Bruzelius, E. (2010). Adolescents and sexuality – Attitudes among employees at Juvenile receptions in Gävleborgs län. Högskolan i Gävle, Akademin för hälsa och arbetsliv. The aim of the current study was to examine and describe what perceptions and values of em-ployees at Juvenile receptions in the county of Gävleborg have about adolescents’ sexual and general health. Information was gathered from three different employees at Juvenile recept-ions in the county of Gävleborg, one welfare officer and two midwifes. The method used was unstructured qualitative interviews. The results show that the informants put adolescents’ sex-uality in relation to their general health status and they think there are distinct connections between adolescents’ attitudes toward sexuality and their sexual behaviors. Furthermore, all the respondents argue that parents and the society have very strong impact on adolescents’ attitudes toward sexuality. The results are eventually discussed in relation to previous studies.
