Question 3

Discuss the standard measures that are used to determine success of a sexuality program. What are the limitations of these measures?

Accepted Answer

The standard measures for assessing sexuality education programs are sexual behavior, pregnancy, and contraceptive use. One limitation of these criteria is that it is difficult to closely link behaviors with program activities. Many different factors drive our behaviors; a specific behavior cannot be solely attributed to the success or failure of education efforts. In addition, the emphasis on measuring behaviors ignores the importance of students' attitudes and values related to sexuality. The measurement scales should be as comprehensive as the educational programs.
