简要总结
This study evaluates the effectiveness of comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) among young adolescents (10-14 years) in schools. A total of 33 schools will participate in the trial with 15 intervention arm that will receive CSE education and 18 in the control arm, Intervention will go on for one year
详细描述
The International Technical Guidance on Sexuality Education (ITGSE) defines CSE as "an age-appropriate, culturally relevant approach to teaching about sexuality and relationships by providing scientifically accurate, realistic, non-judgmental information and CSE improves sexual and reproductive health outcomes of young people by delaying sexual debut, promoting condom use and increasing sexual health knowledge, however, most of these outcomes have been reported in older adolescents and there is limited evidence for effectiveness of CSE among young adolescents
The study aims at improving adolescent sexual and reproductive health of young adolescents through CSE that is led by interdisciplinary university students' team in an environment where no consistent or regulated sexual and reproductive health education program currently exists
