Lessons learnt from a secondary school Sex Education Program in Portugal
Sex Education, 2007Co-Authors: Ana Paula Sousa, Isabel Soares, Duarte VilarAbstract:Based on a developmental framework, a study was conducted in Portugal in two groups of youth in terms of relevant aspects related to adolescent psychoSexual development: one group participated in an Experimental Project of Sex Education and Health Promotion during high school, whereas the other did not receive any formal Sex Education in school. Within this ex‐post‐facto study, the ‘Sex Education and PsychoSexual Development Questionnaire’ was administered to both groups, using the ‘mail‐type’ technique. Results reveal positive evaluations from the participants in the Sex Education Program and similarities between the groups in terms of their Sexual knowledge and attitudes. However, the participants of the Sex Education Program show a multi‐oriented style of Sexual information and, at a behavioural level, they refer more frequently to the use of safe methods for preventing Sexually transmitted diseases. The implications of these findings for Sex Education in schools are discussed.

Sex Education: the teenage agenda
Health Education, 1993Co-Authors: Norma WhiteAbstract:Asserts that if schools and other agencies are to offer appropriate Sex Education and advice, they must ask young people themselves what they want and then act on it. Discusses the place of Sex Education within the National Curriculum, and how its delivery is often seen in terms of “problems”. Believes adults rarely see Sex Education in a wider context – equal opportunities, learning to value self and others, developing a feeling of well‐being, confidence and assertiveness. Considers that Education from schools and other caring agencies is inadequate and that those services offered to young people are not meeting their needs; if Education and services are to develop in ways appropriate for young people, there is a need to enlist their help rather than assume that adults know best. Exemplifies this idea by inviting pupils to participate in writing articles on Sex Education the outcome of which has led to the setting up of a day′s conference with a view to establishing priorities and making commitments. Concludes by hoping to bring about improved and more appropriate Education and Sexual health services, both within and without the classroom.
