Portrait and factors associated with non-teaching school staff intention to deliver a comprehensive sexuality...

School team members such as psychoeducators and counselors can contribute to teach sexuality education curriculum to students, but little is known about their role. The purpose of this study was to develop a portrait of school team members who are solicited by teachers to teach sexuality education to their students, as well as their intention to do so and the factors associated with that intention. This descriptive exploratory study was conducted with 199 non-teaching school team members in two Quebec school service centers surveyed by online questionnaire between November 2018 and June 2019. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis were used for data analysis. Overall, 32.7% of non-teaching staff were invited to provide sexuality education in teachers' classrooms and nearly 65% of them intended to respond favorably to this invitation and teach sexuality education to students. There was a significant relationship between intention to teach sexuality education and age (OR = 0.883; p = 0.038), and social role (OR = 14.300; p = 0.032). The results of this study demonstrate that non-teaching staff can play a role in teaching sexuality education to students.
