Population Council Research that makes a difference

The ongoing HIV epidemic—increasingly affecting females and young people, especially in developing countries—and the human costs of unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections underscore the urgent need to optimize sex and HIV education programs. Yet most approaches to sexuality and HIV education have fallen short. The content of curriculums has focused on specific behaviors but has not kept pace with the growing body of research demonstrating the effects of underlying gender attitudes and behaviors on young people’s sexual health and well-being. And although HIV and adolescent health experts repeatedly call for reaching young people at earlier ages, policymakers and program leaders have few viable options.

Population Council focus

Since 2004, the Council’s Rethinking Sexuality Education project has been promoting a paradigm shift in the sexuality education field—toward a “social studies” approach that actively fosters the development of critical thinking skills and emphasizes learning and reflection about the ways that gender, rights, and other aspects of social context (e.g., race/ethnicity and class) affect sexual experience. This approach can be applied both in formal education and in community-based programs.

Population Council impact

  • Council research is promoting dialogue and providing technical assistance aimed at effecting a shift in sexuality education.
  • Researchers are developing technical resources for sexuality and HIV education programs, and education ministries/departments.
  • In collaboration with six other NGOs, the Council is publishing It’s All One Curriculum: Guidelines and Activities for a Unified Approach to Sexuality, Gender, HIV, and Human Rights Education (more).

Future directions

Council researchers are fostering interventions—both in the United States and globally—that utilize It's All One Curriculum and are exploring opportunities to conduct rigorous evaluations of such an approach.

Projects

Rethinking Sexuality Education (more)
In diverse settings around the world, young people face the challenges of HIV, STIs, and unintended pregnancy. In response, many countries have mounted programs to educate adolescents about sex and sexual health. Evidence suggests that a key to enhancing program effect is to help young people reflect about gender norms that shape sexual behavior. The Rethinking Sexuality Education project conducts research and provides resources and technical assistance to support efforts to place gender and rights at the heart of sex and HIV education.
