To date, only two empirical studies have investigated the difficulties sexuality educators faced as they adjusted to this new educational landscape. The purpose of the present study was to expand on this research with a larger sample of sexuality educators (n = 133) from a more diverse range of employment settings and occupations. Participants responded to two open-ended questions about the changes and challenges they experienced with the implementation of their curricula due to the COVID-19 pandemic. An inductive qualitative content analysis revealed four themes: issues with remote learning, changes to pedagogical techniques and curricula, course content specific to sex/relationships during COVID-19, and reasons for cancelation or temporary suspension of curricula. The results provide important context about common obstacles experienced by sexuality educators, as well as those that only impacted specific programs or settings. The findings also highlight the ways in which educators conceptualized the pandemic as a teachable moment for sexual health. This research serves as an important reference for educators and public health officials as the downstream effects of the pandemic on sexuality education make themselves known.","PeriodicalId":45712,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Sexuality Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46341861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A lack of consensus on the implementation of sex education, its content, and its participants continues to be a concern for equitable inclusion of all young people and their sexual and emotional health as a result. Current policy guidance and implementation fall short in developing and sustaining equitable access to medically accurate and socially meaningful curriculum. Analyzed through a sociological framework of functionalist theory, feminist theory, and queer theory, this sociological analysis examines the following questions: (1) Should sex education programs even exist?, (2) What should be taught in sex education courses?, and (3) Who should be represented in sex education content? Through a review of existing literature and available data on the experiences of young people, this scholarly commentary posits that current sex education practices in the United States are inequitable and insufficient based on their variability and lack of policy guidance. To address these shortcomings, the United States must implement comprehensive sex education in all schools to ensure equitable access, information, and support for all students.","PeriodicalId":45712,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Sexuality Education","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41338324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
