Background
- School-based sexual health education (SHE) is vital for positive sexual health outcomes.
- Limited data exists on the provision and quality of SHE for youth in Spain.
Purpose Of The Study
- To investigate the experiences of Spanish adults regarding their school-based SHE.
- To assess the extent and quality of sexual health topics covered in Spanish high schools.
Main Methods
- An online survey was administered to 524 Spanish adults (aged 18-70).
- Participants reported on the SHE received during high school, including topics covered and perceived quality.
- Data analyzed for differences based on age, gender, and sexual orientation.
Main Results
- SHE in Spanish high schools was generally limited, with topics covered poorly.
- Biological topics were most frequently addressed, though still minimally.
- Women reported receiving less SHE than men, but perceived quality was similar.
- Receiving SHE across more grades correlated with more extensive and higher-quality education.
Conclusions
- Current SHE in Spanish high schools is insufficient and may contribute to poorer sexual health.
- Enhancing the scope and quality of SHE in Spanish schools is necessary to improve public sexual health.
