Comprehensive sexual health education increases sexual health knowledge and decreases adverse health outcomes and high-risk behaviors in heterosexual youth but lacks information relevant to gender and sexual minority youth. Universal access to comprehensive sexual health education that includes information relevant to gender and sexual minority individuals is lacking in the United States, leading to poor health outcomes for gender and sexual minority youth. The purpose of this review was to examine sexual health education programs in schools in the United States for the inclusion of information on gender identity and sexual orientation. The review provides information on current programs offered in schools and suggestions to make them more inclusive to gender and sexual minority youth.
全面性健康教育可增加异性恋青少年的性健康知识,减少不良健康后果和高危行为,但缺乏与性别和性少数群体青少年相关的信息。美国缺乏普遍提供包含与性别和性少数群体个体相关信息的全面性健康教育,这导致性别和性少数群体青少年的健康状况不佳。本综述的目的是研究美国学校中的性健康教育项目,看其是否包含有关性别认同和性取向的信息。该综述提供了关于学校当前提供的项目的信息,以及使其对性别和性少数群体青少年更具包容性的建议。
