Issues covered in this interesting and accessible book include the ways adolescent informal culture affects sex education programs and practice; the impact of gender inequality on sex education and safer sex behaviors; legislation and policy frameworks that affect sex education policies; the way young people see legislation and evaluate sex education programs; and the impact health professionals can have in school sex education.
