This case study is about developing an intervention model to increase students' knowledge on various aspects of sexual and reproductive health. The model consists of 12 modules covering topics, which include physical changes in one's own body from a young age to puberty, sexuality, girl-boy relationships, abstinence, rape, pregnancy, and related laws and legislation. The modules were developed based on Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats analysis of existing sexual and reproductive health education modules currently available in and outside of Malaysia. These modules were then tested by trained facilitators to students, aged 13 to 18, in selected secondary schools in Malaysia in the form of classroom activities which include slide presentation, games, songs, role-play, and group participation. Due to the differences in the time and class allocated by the schools, the modules implemented were selected to suit the ages of the students while ensuring that each student was exposed to at least three modules. The students were grouped into two age groups, namely, 15 years and younger and 16 years and older. To examine the impact of the intervention, the students were asked to answer 22 questions on sexual and reproductive health before the session began and answer the same questions immediately after the session ended. The difference in the proportion of participants with correct answers on sexual and reproductive health knowledge items before and after intervention was assessed using the McNemar test for dependent sample.

Section I: Abstract Problem: California's adolescents carry a significant burden of newly acquired sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and gaps in adolescent sexual and reproductive health (SRH) knowledge have led to poor adolescent health outcomes. (CDE, 2019). Context: The California Healthy Youth Act (AB 329) was enacted on January 1, 2016, calling all school districts to ensure that all pupils receive comprehensive sexual health education, and HIV prevention education (CDE, 2019). In a proactive motion, parents from a northern California middle school approached a university to provide a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) student to instruct its sixth grade's SRH course. Intervention: A DNP student agreed to teach a SRH course with a mixed media method rather than a traditional lecture series to meet the requirements of this bill and the need of the community. Measures: This Quality Improvement (QI) project utilized a pre/post-test design to evaluate how effective the lessons are at influencing student SRH knowledge retention over five lessons in the spring school semester. Results: This teaching mixed media SRH course resulted in a 11.36% increase in adolescent SRH knowledge retention, built community bonds between the adolescent school and local university, and showcased that a DNP student is an ideal SHR instructor. Conclusion: To effectively engage adolescents and increase SRH knowledge retention, a mixed media teaching curriculum is effective. Additionally, a DNP student can help build knowledge within the community and improve adolescent health outcomes in community-based settings.

This book investigates various experiences of teaching sexual and reproductive health to adolescents with disabilities. Following the adoption of the UNCRPD, adolescents with disabilities still commonly suffer from widespread violation of their rights particularly concerning sexual and reproductive health – often being viewed as either asexual or hypersexual. Contemporary societies do not readily encourage the participation of these young people in conversations or decision making processes concerning their own sexual and reproductive health. This book delves into such complex issues, critically examining how global communities attempt to teach sexual and reproductive issues to adolescents with disabilities in the modern era.

With adolescents becoming sexually active at ages as young as ten years old there is a documented need for proper education; and to dispel the myths and other inaccurate information that has formed their erroneous knowledge base leading to poor choices. In the United States approximately eight hundred and twenty thousand teenage girls become pregnant each year. The cost of supporting these pregnancies and through the first year of the child's life exceed half a billion dollars per year in a conservative estimate. A less expensive alternative for tax payers would be proper education of our youth. The purpose of this project is to measure the effectiveness of an independently designed reproductive health class on rates of teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection. Adolescent girls ages twelve to eighteen will be the target audience for this program. Presenting material in a format that is reflective of the current time and culture of our youth, up-to-date information regarding sexually transmitted infection, contraceptives, and abstinence can be provided in a comfortable yet protected environment. Several local physicians and registered nurses are in support of this program and have volunteered future time and service. The project start-up costs are minimal, for advertising, materials and supplies would be approximately $1,038.00. Success can easily be measured by the data routinely obtained in the obstetrical department of the hospital.
