From the supplier: Elicitation research involving a survey of 406 adolescents in rural Ontario explored attitudes toward sexual health education. Sexual health education was regarded as important by 88.7%. Slightly more than 60% felt that school and parents were doing well at providing information on sexual health. A Likert-type scale was used to rate 14 sexual health education topics in importance. Highest-rated topics included prevention of sexually transmitted diseases and sexual assault/rape, while gay and lesbian issues were regarded as lowest in importance. Some support was indicated for gender-segregated instruction in sexual health education.
