This paper addresses the challenges faced in mainstreaming the teaching of sexual and reproductive health and rights into public health education. For this paper, we define sexual and reproductive health and rights education as including not only its biomedical aspects but also an understanding of its history, values and politics, grounded in gender politics and social justice, addressing sexuality, and placed within a broader context of health systems and global health. Using a case study approach with an opportunistically selected sample of schools of public health within our regional contexts, we examine the status of sexual and reproductive health and rights education and some of the drivers and obstacles to the development and delivery of sexual and reproductive health and rights curricula. Despite diverse national and institutional contexts, there are many commonalities. Teaching of sexual and reproductive health and rights is not fully integrated into core curricula. Existing initiatives rely on personal faculty interest or short-term courses, neither of which are truly sustainable or replicable. We call for a multidisciplinary and more comprehensive integration of sexual and reproductive health and rights in public health education. The education of tomorrow's public health leaders is critical, and a strategy is needed to ensure that they understand and are prepared to engage with the range of sexual and reproductive health and rights issues within their historical and political contexts.
本文探讨了将性与生殖健康及权利教学纳入公共卫生教育主流过程中所面临的挑战。在本文中，我们将性与生殖健康及权利教育定义为不仅包括其生物医学方面，还包括基于性别政治和社会正义、涉及性取向、置于卫生系统和全球卫生更广泛背景下对其历史、价值观和政治的理解。通过采用案例研究方法，对我们区域范围内机会性选取的公共卫生学院样本进行研究，我们考察了性与生殖健康及权利教育的现状以及性与生殖健康及权利课程开发与实施的一些驱动因素和障碍。尽管存在不同的国家和机构背景，但仍有许多共性。性与生殖健康及权利教学尚未完全融入核心课程。现有举措依赖于教师个人兴趣或短期课程，而这两者都不是真正可持续或可复制的。我们呼吁在公共卫生教育中对性与生殖健康及权利进行多学科、更全面的整合。培养未来的公共卫生领导者至关重要，需要制定一项战略，以确保他们在历史和政治背景下理解并准备好应对一系列性与生殖健康及权利问题。
