“…The problem of difficulty in communication between parents and children is not limited to developing countries like Iran. In a study in USA (conducted on women aged 15-24 who had participated in the 2011-2013 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG)), seventy-five percent of the participants reported not having received any sex education from parents and only 61% and 56% reported contraceptive and STI education by parents, respectively [17]. In a qualitative study, based on the results of fifty semi-structured interviews with parents, Walker concluded that parents possess skills as educators, but they also experience uncertainty and embarrassment about the aspects of their role.…”

Journal homepage: www.zums.ac.ir/jhehp Background: To determine the most usual resources that adolescents and teenagers are using to learn about sexual issues. A cross-sectional exploratory study implemented in June 2015 in Zahedan, the capital city of Sistan-va-Baluchestan Province, located in the southeast of Iran. Methods: Using convenient sampling method, from among student of two large universities in Zahedan, 134 students 18 to 22 years old, accepted invitation for filling a self-administered anonymized questionnaire containing, 8 semi-closed questions about sexual issues. Results: 44.9% of women and 41.6% of men mentioned one of their friends as their tutors. While 42.0% of women mentioned their mothers as one of their tutors, only 18.8% of them believed that more than 50% of their sexual knowledge came from their mothers. 23.1% of male participants and 36.2% of female ones alleged to know personally people of their own ages who had been subjected to sexual abuse or harassment earlier in their life. Conclusion: In Iran, educating sexual issues to adolescents is badly in need of organization and management. While the rule of a committed extra-family tutor (e.g. an officially appointed school teacher) might not be considered a solution, parents have to be prompted for filling the gap.

“…The rates of HIV for both Black and Latina women were higher than those for white women. The percentage of unwanted pregnancies for Black and Latina women was almost twice the percentage for white women (Vanderberg et al., 2016, p. 69). Not to mention, due to the inequitable healthcare system in America, the maternal mortality rate for Black mothers is almost three times the rate for white mothers and the infant mortality rate for Black children is double the rate for white children (Amankwaa et al., 2018, p. 316; Lorenz et al., 2016, p. 797).…”

Forming and sustaining healthy relationships of any kind requires empathy, thought, communication and effort, all of which are learned skills. Many of these skills can and should be learned in a variety of places, including and especially in schools. One of the most appropriate venues for teaching interpersonal relationship skills in school is through ‘sex ed’ classes. I argue that student‐centred, anti‐racist, culturally affirming and appropriate, inclusive, egalitarian and relationship‐based learning environments are necessary for sex education that benefits all students. The principles of hip‐hop‐based pedagogies, including Christopher Emdin's Reality Pedagogy, Bettina Love's Abolitionist Pedagogy and Rawls and Robinson's Youth Culture Pedagogy can serve as a useful theoretical framework around which to build sex education curriculum and policy. School‐based sex education (SBSE) based on these principles may prove extremely beneficial not only to all students and their individual sense of identity and sexual autonomy but also to the general welfare of the public in the long run.

“…Vanderberg et al (15) stated that both formal sexual and parents-guided education delay or reverse sexual misbehaviors in adolescents, reduce haphazard intercourses, and increase the rate of using protection. Hsu et al (16) studied the impact of sexual empowerment on sexual decision-making among adolescent girls and found that an empowerment-based training program leads to higher self-control, more preventive behaviors, and promoted sexual health.…”

Background: Adolescent puberty issues can be solved by applying a practical problem-solving approach. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the sexual education of adolescent girls through a problem-solving training approach and its effect on their mental health. Methods: The present study used the random sampling method to select 30 students (15 experimental and 15 control) based on a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The data collection tool was Goldberg’s abbreviated mental health questionnaire. The experimental group was educated in a problem-solving approach for treating sexual problems in 10 sessions, and the control group received no intervention. Results: The problem-based sexual education training significantly affected mental health in adolescent girls. In addition, the LSD post hoc test differed significantly between pre-test and follow-up tests. Conclusions: Based on the results, the problem-based sexual education could increase young girls’ and their parents’ awareness of the developmental period and the characteristics of puberty. This method helped deal with emotional states and sexual issues related to puberty. Therefore, practitioners are recommended to provide sexual education for adolescents and their families at a low cost and with easy understanding.
