Evidence-based Approaches to Sexuality Education

This is the first book to provide a multidisciplinary and global overview of evidence-based sexuality education (SE) programs and practices. Readers are introduced to the fundamentals of creating effective programs to prepare them to design new or implement existing programs that promote healthy sexual attitudes and relationships.

Ponzetti has assembled a thoughtful and critical take on evidence-based sexuality education programs that encompass a diversity of populations, including LGBT persons and persons with disabilities, across all areas of the life course."- Katie M. Barrow, Louisiana Tech University, USA "This book will be extremely useful to scholars, practitioners, and students interested in the role of sexuality education in diverse sociocultural contexts. The comprehensive overview of sexuality programs, including their efficacy, serves as a very useful resource." -Susan Sprecher, Illinois State University, USA "Evidence-based Approaches to Sexuality Education is a review of the state of sexuality education on a worldwide scale: complexities abound, and this book helps both the novice and the expert sift through them." Karen Rayne, Associate Editor, American Journal of Sexuality Education, USA "An indispensable, highly readable book that will inspire and update experienced and starting sexual health education professionals worldwide. Including the latest insights on creating effective, comprehensive, age-appropriate and culturally sensitive sexuality education in and out of school." -Yuri Ohlrichs, Rutgers Expertise Center on Sexuality, The Netherlands "A welcome addition to the teaching portfolio. ... An advanced undergraduate or Masters level graduate course on human sexuality/sex education could adopt this book. ... I would definitely suggest it to our human sexuality instructors. ...The international ... and the contextual perspectives all add up to an interesting and useful volume." Stephen R. Jorgensen, University of Missouri, USA "This book appears to fill an important niche in the field of sexuality education. The other current books are either too specific ... too expensive ... or too elementary. ...This book would appeal to ... educators as well as students who are considering a career in education. ... I appreciate the inclusion of chapters that deal with different contexts." Dory Schachner, California State University, Chico, USA "I was very impressed with the authors [and] the international and cultural perspectives. Audiences: Human Sexuality Education courses/professors, human sexuality [and] women studies courses corporations who develop materials for educators, [and] researchers in the field. I liked that the SIECUS guidelines are included." Liliana Rojas-Guyler, University of Cincinnati, USA "The survey of international contexts is very appealing. ... The book would be a significant contribution to the field." Gary F. Kelly, Clarkson University, USA
