The emergence of AIDS as an untreatable, lethal disease, responding to educational prevention strategies in high-risk populations, has brought the issues of sex education in the public schools to the forefront. However, administrators, teachers, and parents perceive different barriers to sex education implementation. This study, undertaken in a northeastern, multigenerational, ethnic city, characterized by adolescent pregnancy rates a third higher than the state overall, polled 42 junior and senior high school administrators regarding educational priorities, perceived barriers to expansion of sex education, and preferred methods of introducing sex education. Administrators perceive parents as a major barrier to the introduction of more formalized sex education in their schools. Paradoxically, these same administrators felt that parents were generally uncomfortable in talking to their children about human sexuality. Recommendations are offered from existing models of health education for resolution of administrators' conflicting views on parental roles.
艾滋病作为一种无法治愈的致命疾病出现后，在高危人群中对教育预防策略产生了反应，这使得公立学校的性教育问题成为了焦点。然而，管理人员、教师和家长对性教育实施存在不同的障碍。这项研究在一个东北部的、多代同堂的、有多种族的城市进行，该城市的青少年怀孕率比全州总体水平高三分之一，调查了42名初中和高中管理人员关于教育重点、性教育扩展的感知障碍以及引入性教育的首选方法。管理人员认为家长是他们学校引入更正规性教育的主要障碍。矛盾的是，这些管理人员同样觉得家长通常不愿意与孩子谈论人类性行为。从现有的健康教育模式中提出了建议，以解决管理人员对家长角色的相互冲突的观点。
