Answer 2

Explanation:

Sexual health education is “a lifelong process of acquiring information and forming attitudes, beliefs, and values about such important topics as identity, relationships, and intimacy” (SIECUS, Guidelines, 2004, p.13). Sexual health education programs start in prekindergarten and continue through Grade 12. These programs include age- and developmentally appropriate, medically accurate information on a broad set of topics related to sexuality, including abstinence, contraception and disease prevention. SIECUS further delineates inclusion of “sexual development, reproductive health, interpersonal relationships, emotions, intimacy, body image and gender role topics. Sexual health education addresses the biological, socio-cultural, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of sexuality from the cognitive domain (information); the affective domain (feelings, values and attitudes); and the behavioral domain (communication, decision-making, and other relevant personal skills)” (SIECUS, On the Right Track, 2004 p. 4). The overall goal of sexual health education is to provide young people with the knowledge and skills to promote their health and well-being as they mature into sexually healthy adults (SIECUS, Guidelines, 2004).

According to SIECUS Guidelines for Comprehensive Sexuality Education (2004), sexual health education has four main goals:

to provide accurate information about human sexuality;

to provide an opportunity for young people to develop and understand their values, attitudes, and insights about sexuality;

to help young people develop relationships and interpersonal skills; and

to help young people exercise responsibility regarding sexual relationships, including addressing abstinence, pressures to become prematurely involved in sexual intercourse, and a use of contraception and other sexual health measures
