Sex is an important aspect of health care; however, doctors fail to regularly discuss sexual health with patients. 1 Physicians cite lack of comfort and knowledge as reasons for neglecting to ask patients about sex, which literature links to inadequate sexual education during medical school. [2][3][4][5] Due to a lack of comprehensive sexual education in medical school, we created and implemented a curricular enrichment model entitled Sex Positivity Week (SPW). The first SPW in November 2021 at Drexel University College of Medicine (DUCOM) was met with clear interest by the student body, as over 50% of students took part. Our study surveys comfortability and knowledge of sexual health in medical students before and after the second implementation of this model in October 2022.

This article proposes multilevel interventions to address the men's sexual healthcare (SHC) gaps following PCa diagnosis and treatments.Setting: The setting of this article is the radiation oncology environment within the context of the sexual health of men with PCa.Methods: A qualitative retrospective study design was adopted in this article as the authors revisited the previously published data. The authors methodically analysed qualitative data using deductive and inductive approaches to expand and operationalise the first author's 2017 psychosexual counselling guidelines.Results: Four levels of multiple-level interventions were identified and further expanded into seven nonpharmacological interventions to improve SHC in men with PCa post-radiotherapy. These levels of interventions include the patient, peer support, provider and system levels. Conclusion:It is hoped that these interventions will contribute to the sexual well-being of men with PCa through this nonpharmacological interventional approach. Contribution:This article provides pragmatic interventions to address the challenging and unspoken concerns of men undergoing treatment for PCa in the ROD. Methodologically, it advances deductive and inductive analyses for rich interpretative analysis.
