Abstract
= 5) daughters completed individual in-depth semistructured interviews lasting on average 84 min in length. Analysis revealed several social, cultural, and familial contexts impacting father-daughter communication, in addition to factors that either motivate or hinder communication. Daughters who did not engage in sexual health communication with their fathers expressed an interest in doing so, and participants highlighted varying behavioral, emotional, and relational outcomes resulting from father-daughter sexual health communication or the lack thereof. Study findings can inform future intervention development and strengthen the positive role fathers play in ensuring daughters' healthy sexual development.
