Overall objective was to study impact of reproductive health
education on knowledge of mid-adolescents boys of urban
population with special reference to reproductive health.
Study design: The study was cross-sectional type conducted
over a time period of six months.
Methods: The study subjects were drawn from three
schools, of urban population of Faridabad, in Haryana.
The present study was designed to evaluate the existing
knowledge and impact of reproductive health education
amongst mid-adolescent boys, related to adolescent health
with special reference to secondary sexual characteristics,
menstrual cycle, pregnancy and motherhood, AIDS and
family planning practices. Sample Size: A sample size of 250
students was selected for this study. Study group: comprised
of mid adolescent boys and girls of 14-16 years, studying
in co-educational senior secondary schools. Data from
students was collected using a structured self-administered
questionnaire.
Conclusion: There was marked improvement in knowledge of
same adolescents after education on the reproductive health
in almost each and every field. The fact that children engage
in sexual behaviour before they have a clear understanding of
what it is all about, places them at very high risk of a variety
of adverse experiences that can impact negatively on their
development. Adolescents whom mothers were housewives
were more aware of their reproductive health as compare
to working parents. But parent’s education doesn’t produces
significant difference in their knowledge. Conversely,
although many adolescents have sexual knowledge, this
knowledge does not always influence their behaviour.
