Sex Education in School, Are Gender and Sexual Minority Youth Included?: A Decade in Review
American Journal of Sexuality Education, v15 n4 p530-542 2020
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.
