'Everyone Knows Everyone': Youth Perceptions of Relationships and Sexuality Education, Condom Access and Health Services in a Rural Town
Heslop, Carl W.; Burns, Sharyn; Lobo, Roanna
Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning, v19 n6 p644-660 2019
Sexual health promotion and Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE) are influenced by interrelated social and cultural factors, particularly in a rural setting. This paper reports on findings from interviews with young people when asked about experiences and perspectives accessing RSE and sexual health services in a small rural Australian town. Fifteen young people (16-24 years) participated in semi-structured focus groups and interviews. Data was analysed and coded with four key themes emerging: relevant and credible sexual health education; make it easy; GP accessibility; and discreet condom supply. The findings of this study have practical implications when addressing community level sexual health and RSE needs.
