Parents' and teachers' views on sexual health education and screening for sexually transmitted infections among in-school adolescent girls in Kenya: A qualitative study
Reproductive Health Aug 31, 2017
Wanje G, et al. – A qualitative study was carried out to investigate parents' and teachers' attitudes towards school–centered sexual health education and promotion of STI screening for adolescent girls (15–17 years) in Mombasa, Kenya. In this African setting, parents and teachers provide limited sexual health education, with an attention to negative consequences including loss of virginity, pregnancy, and risk for STIs. Nonetheless, both parents and teachers were supportive of STI screening for adolescent girls, beginning with school–based informational meetings for the girls. Research and programs that intend to give STI screening in this setting must offer treatment and address the issue of whether results will be disclosed to parents.
