Family life education: the role of the community physician
Abstract:
This article describes the introduction of a human growth and development section in a school health program in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, with a school population of about 13,000. Such a program must begin early in the primary grades and develop in a flowing, sequential manner, so that learning about sex and sexuality is seen as part of being a healthy, developing human being. The role of the family physician in coordinating, leading and voicing demands for such a program is discussed in terms of good preventive medicine.
