摘要

生育信息是全面性教育的一个重要组成部分,但在澳大利亚,青少年在多大程度上被教导或告知生育知识尚不清楚。这项研究通过对澳大利亚1500名15-18岁的青少年进行匿名在线调查,调查了他们对生育知识的了解。受访者来自不同的背景,包括性取向和性别多样性(约60%的人认为自己不是异性恋者,17%的人认为自己不是男女)。与与国家课程相关的生殖健康和性健康内容的平均知识相比,生育知识的平均知识明显较差(p < 0.001)。线性回归和LASSO变量选择模型确定了一些社会人口因素与生育或整体生殖健康和性健康知识之间显著但很小的关联。超过80%的受访者认为他们的性健康教育不足,这与对线性回归模型测量的所有结果的了解较差有关。这些发现表明,在澳大利亚国家课程中明确包括生育内容可能会增加青少年对生育的理解。青少年LGBTQ+社区在调查中的积极参与表明他们有兴趣为生殖和性健康教育改革做出贡献。包容性,特别是性和性别的包容性,应成为澳大利亚提供生殖和性健康教育的一个关键考虑因素。

Fertility knowledge in a cohort of Australia’s adolescents: a cross-sectional study of reproductive and sexual health education
Fertility information is an important component of comprehensive sexuality education, but the extent to which adolescents are taught or informed about fertility is unknown in Australia. This study examined knowledge of fertility using an anonymous, online survey of > 2,600 adolescents aged 15–18 across Australia. Respondents represented diverse backgrounds, including sexuality and gender diversity (>60% identifying other than heterosexual, 17% gender identity other than man/woman). Average knowledge of fertility was significantly poorer compared to average knowledge of reproductive and sexual health content linked to the national curriculum (p < .001). Linear regression and LASSO variable selection modelling identified significant, but small associations between some sociodemographic factors and knowledge about fertility or overall reproductive and sexual health. Over 80% of respondents considered their sexual health education insufficient, which was associated with poorer knowledge on all outcomes measured in linear regression models. These findings suggest that including fertility content explicitly within the Australian national curriculum will likely increase adolescent understanding of fertility. The strong participation of the adolescent LGBTQ+ community in the survey demonstrates their interest in contributing to reproductive and sexual health education reform. Inclusivity, particularly of sexuality and gender should be a key consideration in reproductive and sexual health education delivery in Australia.
