This study attempted to find out whether parents in Bangladesh considered it important to provide reproductive and sexual health education to their adolescent children. It investigated possibilities of making parents play effective role models in educating their children on reproductive and sexual health. Findings suggest considerable positive attitude of parents toward adolescent reproductive health education, including a positive environment for introducing reproductive and sexual health education in schools. Nevertheless, findings also revealed a serious lack of knowledge among parents on basic understanding of reproductive and sexual health matters. Some parents also had reservations about educating their children on these matters. Making parents more aware of reproductive and sexual health matters and developing their communication skill to talk to their children along with in-school education for adolescents should be given high priority in Bangladesh.
本研究试图查明孟加拉国的父母是否认为向青春期子女提供生殖健康和性健康教育很重要。它调查了让父母在教育子女生殖健康和性健康方面发挥有效榜样作用的可能性。研究结果表明，父母对青少年生殖健康教育持相当积极的态度，包括在学校引入生殖健康和性健康教育的积极环境。然而，研究结果也显示，父母对生殖健康和性健康问题的基本理解严重缺乏知识。一些父母在对子女进行这些方面的教育时也有所保留。在孟加拉国，应高度重视提高父母对生殖健康和性健康问题的认识，培养他们与子女沟通的技巧，同时为青少年提供校内教育。
