Sexual and Reproductive Health Education Curriculum: Empowering Young Adult

Abstract

This research project was designed to assess the effectiveness of implementing a comprehensive sexual and reproductive health education curriculum for young adult males in a residential program at Wayside Youth and Family Support Network. The curriculum was designed to enhance knowledge and skills related to sexual health, decision-making, and healthy behaviors among both staff and clients aged 18 to 22. Using pre- and post-training assessments, the study evaluated the impact of the curriculum on knowledge scores, confidence in discussing sensitive topics, and awareness of available resources. This project demonstrated the importance of ongoing sexual education and support in promoting informed decision-making and healthy relationships among young adult males in residential programs.
