BACKGROUND
School-based programs are important in addressing risky teenage sexual behavior. We implemented a sex education program using trained medical student volunteers.
METHODS
Medical students (n=30) implemented a seven-session curriculum, designed by medical students and faculty, to 7th and 8th grade students (n=310) at a local school. Middle school students completed pre- and post-assessments. Teachers and medical students completed questionnaires relating their perceptions of students' attitudes and understanding of sexual health.
RESULTS
Students completing the curriculum scored 5% higher on post- versus pre-assessment (84% vs 78.7%, p<0.001). Statistically significant gains were noted in knowledge of reproductive system anatomy, community resources, and sexual decision making. Sixty percent of middle school teachers compared to only 16.7% of medical student volunteers reported discomfort teaching sexual health.
DISCUSSION
Sexual education delivered by trained medical student volunteers may improve middle schoolers' understanding of sexual health. [Full article available at http://rimed.org/rimedicaljournal-2017-01.asp].
背景
以学校为基础的项目对于解决青少年危险的性行为问题很重要。我们利用经过培训的医学生志愿者实施了一项性教育项目。
方法
30名医学生向当地一所学校的7、8年级学生（共310名）实施了由医学生和教师设计的七节课程。中学生完成了课前和课后评估。教师和医学生完成了有关他们对学生性健康态度和理解的看法的问卷调查。
结果
完成课程的学生在课后评估中的得分比课前评估高5%（84%对78.7%，p<0.001）。在生殖系统解剖学知识、社区资源和性决策方面有统计学上的显著提高。60%的中学教师表示在教授性健康方面感到不适，而医学生志愿者中只有16.7%有此感受。
讨论
由经过培训的医学生志愿者提供的性教育可能会提高中学生对性健康的理解。[全文可在http://rimed.org/rimedicaljournal-2017-01.asp获取]
