ABSTRACT
Healthy sexual development involves physical, cognitive, social, and emotional growth (Halpern, 2010). While parents play a critical role in fostering healthy sexuality, schools remain an important setting for teaching sexual health, given their access to young people at key developmental stages (such as before or around the time many are likely to become sexually active), their broad reach (Davis & Bauman, 2013), and their core mission of fostering the development of young people.
