The need to involve men in family planning and reproductive health services has gained increased recognition by health organizations and practitioners as an important strategy for reducing persistently high rates of sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancies. Peer education is one popular approach that has been shown to be effective in promoting healthy sexual behaviors as well as increasing sexual health knowledge, attitudes, and skills among young people. Although the efficacy of peer education programs is related to the recruitment, selection, and training of instructors, little information on these topics has been shared. Moreover, there is an even greater dearth in the literature regarding young male sexual health educators. This report addresses this gap and describes lessons learned about the selection, development, and contributions of young male health educators in a male-focused peer-based sexual health program.
让男性参与计划生育和生殖健康服务，这一需求已得到卫生组织和从业者越来越多的认可，成为降低持续居高不下的性传播感染率和意外怀孕率的一项重要策略。同伴教育是一种广受欢迎的方法，已被证明在促进健康性行为以及增加年轻人的性健康知识、态度和技能方面有效。尽管同伴教育项目的成效与教员的招募、选拔和培训有关，但关于这些主题的信息却鲜有分享。此外，关于年轻男性性健康教育工作者的文献更是匮乏。本报告填补了这一空白，并描述了在一个以男性为重点的同伴性健康项目中，关于年轻男性健康教育工作者的选拔、培养及贡献方面所汲取的经验教训。
