The public health campaign topic that we were assigned was on sexual health. Throughout this campaign we worked as a team in order to reach the aims and objectives we had set. The aim of our campaign was to raise awareness by educating students and the public on safer sex and sexually transmitted diseases. In order to do this the objective was to produce a stand that will be based in the university of Huddersfield student union and educate students and the public on sexual health by encouraging them to come to the stand and ask questions, as well as participate in various activities. The target audience was well suited for this topic as the younger population especially of university age are more likely to contract an STI. In order to …show more content…
A risk assessment was also developed which stated possible issues that could go wrong while running the stand; this was necessary for safety and in order to highlight any dangers our stand brings to both ourselves and the public. Within the campaign we provided games, one of which was educational to get people involved as well as educating about STIs. We also gave out lots of goodie bags which contained: condoms/dams, sweets and lots of leaflets about safer sex and STIs. Throughout the development of our campaign, we ended up altering or changing a few ideas that was contained within our original plan. In the plan its states to put ‘SEX’ in big capital letters however, we realised that this was inappropriate, potentially offensive and the message of sexual health wasn’t clearly put across. Instead we used the title sexual health in order to give a clear message of what the campaign was about. Originally we were going to put a chlamydia test into each goodie bag however, we overestimated how may chlamydia tests we would receive. With 12 chlamydia tests we realised that it is not necessary for everyone to have a chlamydia test and it would be a better to make them available for people to take one if they wanted to. Another idea we had in the plan was to discuss the mixture of sex and alcohol although, we found this difficult to include within the information we were providing and thought that there would be too much information
In today’s world we seem to put aside things that we consider no longer a threat. Well we are wrong to do this, because HIV/AIDS still affects over 5.4 million people that are walking around with this infection or full blown AIDS. They are friends, Criminals, neighbors, and even children attending school, etc. So, why do we think it is ok to not worry about a problem that does not have a cure, but only a life time of meds? Within this qualitative research method, we will explore Sexual risk, there or the Measures, Sexual risk, method, demographics, HIV/AIDS risk and may add other areas as they relate to this study.
David Skorton and Glenn Altschuler wrote the essay “Do We Really Need More Guns on Campus.” This essay focus on the guns on campus controversy. There are two sides that the authors explain: the side in favor and the side against. Every side has points to think about it. For example, some reasons to be against the conceal are the fights, the lack of experience and the drug abuse. The side in favor has good reason too, as the importance to stop a mass shooting, the right to bear arms and the secure feeling that the gun give.
Many things were accomplished because of the French Revolution from better prices to less legal privileges for nobility. The Haitian Revolution also had unbelievable results, like ending slavery and creating more social equality. The French and Haitian Revolutions were mostly similar. Both revolutions did end up with different governments in the end, Haiti a dictatorship, and France a monarchy. Though the reason for the revolutions were the same.
This program health alert would help promote a lot of positive change, in the different communities at large, of course programs that will reduce young people's risk of infections, help prolong sexual contact, decrease the consistency of intimacy, decrease the amount of partners, and increase the use of protection (Hollander, 2012). It is a need for education about sex to be taught in every school. Health alert is working with the schools in the community at large to assure these programs are correctly implemented. Teens may receive some education about sex, diseases, and abstinence in some grades in school, but many students receive none. A lot of young people such as youth who are not in school receive almost none or not enough education.
In 1971, before the pill was even legalized, the career and counseling center, in collaboration with the health center, offered a seminar in human sexuality: “a three part evening seminar on biological and psychological aspects of human sexuality. ”The seminar was a success and was offered in successive years until it eventually became a “ten session, noncredit” course in the fall of 1973 . In 1971, the health center also expanded its gynecological services, including offering rapid pregnancy tests, and pledged to increase screening for venereal diseases.” Simmons’ efforts to insure the sexual health and wellbeing of its students continued for years to come. In 1976, a task force on human sexuality, consisting of students, resident heads, and psychologists, was formed to gauge the level of “sophistication of the student body” in regards to sex. In response to their findings, Dr. Readdy stated that “it is apparent that there are too many pseudo-sophisticates, ‘it-can’t-happen-here’ adventures, or just plain innocents who need more education or better education than they have received prior to coming to college. I heartily support this endeavor. ”This dedication to Women’s health was not an anomaly, and reflected a growing trend of women taking control of their own health and wellness. This is evidenced by the formation of the Boston Women’s Health Collective and their revolutionary publication of Our Bodies, Our Selves as well as the protests at the Capitol Hill hearings on the safety of the
“I dream of the day when every new born child is welcome, when men and women are equal and when sexuality is an expression of intimacy, joy and tenderness” Elise Ottesen-Jensen, the Founder, Swedish Association for Sexual Education (1993).
In Canadian society, there are certain things that are expected to happen. Any type of public hatred against the LGBTQ+ community, or any other cultural, or religious group, is completely not acceptable. As well as sexual education is to be taught in the school system. Beginning September of 2015, the Ontario school system implemented an upgrade to the province’s sexual health education curriculum. The updated curriculum contains a more progressive outlook than the old curriculum, which had not been updated since 1998 Today’s society is sexually explicit, and because of this, Ontario has tapered their sexual education towards this fact. This essay will explore the differences in how the curriculum has been received, and how the sexual education
College campuses have seen a rise, in the epidemic of Sexually transmitted diseases. Sexually transmitted diseases have quickly become a household name amongst Americans. The dangers and health issues related to acquiring a STD has been the reason why more attention has been brought to the STD epidemic. The reason for this attention is to hopefully, slow down the rate of STD’S amongst students. There is a very astonishing fact stated by the Agape Pregnancy Resource Center, “Nearly 80% percent of people that are infected with STD’s do not know it. ("Agape Pregnancy Resource Center") The use of condoms, knowing your status, and the practice of abstinence are very effective ways of avoiding contracting STD’s. If we do not make students
The possibility of sexually transmitted diseases and infections poses a huge risk to all those who are sexually active. Without proper diagnosis and treatment, STDs and STIs such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, HIV/Aids, and HPV may leave permanent damage to one’s body and increase the likeliness of cervical cancer, infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and more. Planned Parenthood offers extensive testing for patients upon every visit to decrease the spread and damage of any and all diseases. According to Sonfield’s research, “Nearly half of female family planning clients receive chlamydia and gonorrhea tests, and 19% receive an HIV test… Without access to these services, in 2010, an estimated 3.6 million women and men would have forgone chlamydia or gonorrhea testing, which would have resulted in tens of thousands of undetected and untreated STIs. By reducing transmission to partners, these testing services helped prevent an estimated 99,000 chlamydia infections, 16,000 gonorrhea infections and 410 HIV infections that year” (Sonfield). The great amount of transferable diseases requires the counteractive services of Planned Parenthood to provide treatment and prevent the further spread of disease. Patients are offered and encouraged to receive testing to maintain sexual health. In the event of an issue, full treatment options are presented at low or no cost and
Responsible for the successful scheduling, coordination, tracking and closure average of 200 production orders through four work centers a month.
We suggest that London international Group can promote the prevention of AIDS worldwide by making campaigns directly in schools and universities to teach all about STDs and promote their products showing the importance of using condoms as a way to prevent diseases.
Sex education has been an ongoing debate for decades. In the early 1970’s, twenty states voted restricting sex education from the school curriculum, leaving the District of Columbia and only three states (Maryland, Kentucky, New Jersey), requiring schools to teach sex education. By the mid 1980’s, a deadly disease permitted through sexual intercourse was recognized; the fear of catching a disease sex education quickly became accepted. In 1986, Surgeon General C. Everett Koop felt sex education should start as early as third grade stating, ‘“There is now no doubt … that we need sex education in schools and that it [should] include information on heterosexual and homosexual relationships. The lives of our young people depend on our
If you could choose between a teacher teaching you about sex or your parents who would you choose? Now unless you have a weird relaionship with your parents or your not weirded out by your parents talking about sex then you probibliy would prefer to be taght by a teacher. In the public school system, it is pretty common for districts to teach a sex education class. These typically take place between 5th and 8th grades, though sometimes earlier and sometimes later. Some districts take a different approach, teaching a form of sex-ed to every grade, with corresponding age appropriate material. For example, a second grade class might learn about what to do if an adult is touching them inappropriately, while a high school class may learn how to put on a condom and the variety of birth control options that are available. While teaching sex education is seen as a good idea by most, there are some who do not approve of it being taught in schools. However, those who do not approve are failing to recognize the numerous benefits of teaching sex-ed to kids.Sex-Ed is a controversial topic, but reason dictates that it is a good idea to teach kids about sex. Sex-Ed is widely taught in U.S. schools – though some people don’t think it should be.Informed ChoicesThe fact is that a classroom is the only place that some kids will be offered accurate information about sex. Many parents make the mistake of not talking to their kids about sex, thinking it makes them less likely that they will
Teens have difficulty grasping the consequences of unprotected sex for themselves, their parents, family members and possibly their unborn child. Unprotected sex among teenagers in El Paso has become an issue seeing as they are not receiving the right information they need to know about sex and how to prevent it, sexually transmitted diseases can be passed on through sexual contact in which can be harmful and be passed on from one person to another, and teen pregnancy and STD’s bring substantial social and economic costs through immediate and long-term impacts on teen parents and their children. Nowadays social media and technology seem to really take a toll on teenagers, the both has impacted teens in a way that it is all they are on. My proposal of fixing this solution is getting the message across through social media and doing presentations at different schools, this will impact teenagers mostly because this is the generation where social media has become a part of their lives. To those with low education about unprotected sex, will pay attention to what is being said, which will be no problem since Google and the internet are there to provide answers to their questions. Lastly, teens do not pay attention to adults in general, but if they listen to what a teen has to say then they will most likely understand, thus a presentation at their school will help them learn more.
Picture a young couple being on the verge of exploring their sexual desires for the first time. The question is does this young couple have the proper education to make this life changing decision? They most likely were given their education from the school they attend. Hopefully the school taught them what they needed to know to make such a decision. Should sex education be taught at school by teachers or by the parents?
