IranBringing Comprehensive Sexuality Education to Out-of-School Adolescents and Youth.
In Iran, evidence has shown that out-of-school adolescents are more likely to become infected with HIV than their peers. In order to reach and protect adolescent girls and boys at risk of HIV with comprehensive sexuality education, Iran’s Centre for Communicable Diseases Control adapted two modules from UNFPA’s International Technical Guidance on Sexuality Education (ITGSE).
The modules – on sexual and reproductive health and relationships – were developed in a participatory manner by national and international experts, with inputs from adolescents, young people, and staff from Adolescent Well-being Centres. The process provided an opportunity to build the reproductive health education capacities of national experts and Centre for Communicable Diseases Control staff.
Three preliminary workshops took place to prepare the training curricula, including a training of trainers for staff of the Adolescent Well-being Centres on how to conduct focus group discussions, an introduction to the Comprehensive Prevention Programme for Ministry of Health and Medical Education staff, and a participatory session with adolescents and youth to make sure that the training modules reflected their needs. Packages of training materials were subsequently developed through 10 focus group discussions involving adolescent girls and boys at risk of HIV. Their parents, along with staff from the Adolescent Well-being Centres, were included in the discussions to identify and respond to the needs of adolescents and youth.
The training packages included a curriculum for adolescents and youth, and a training guide for service providers on STIs, puberty, and communication between parents and adolescents. Each package was developed separately for boys and girls to ensure gender-responsiveness.
