Abstract
Reproductive and sexual health (RSH) education is a key component of most family planning programs around the world and is particularly important for adolescents, for whom parenthood is more likely to have difficult or dangerous health outcomes. A lack of comprehensive RSH education targeted at adolescents may augment the poor outcomes associated with early pregnancy by creating barriers to optimal care. This article discusses the creation of the Centro de Medicina Reproductiva y Desarrollo Integral de la Adolescencia clinic, a comprehensive adolescent reproductive health center in Santiago de Chile, and its RSH education programs. In particular, the role of the physician in originating and leading the RSH education efforts, the controversy associated with RSH education in Chile, and the effects of comprehensive RHS education on the local and regional adolescent populations are discussed.
生殖健康和性健康教育是世界上大多数计划生育方案的一个关键组成部分,对青少年尤其重要,因为对他们来说,为人父母更有可能产生困难或危险的健康结果。缺乏针对青少年的全面生殖健康教育可能会增加与早孕相关的不良结果,为最佳护理创造障碍。本文讨论了智利圣地亚哥综合性青少年生殖健康中心——生殖医学中心(Centro de Medicina reproductive tiva y Desarrollo Integral de la adolescent clinic)的创建及其生殖健康教育项目。特别是,医生在发起和领导生殖健康教育工作中的作用,与智利生殖健康教育相关的争议,以及全面的生殖健康教育对当地和区域青少年人口的影响。
