However, many are concerned that an in depth program will lead to higher STD and STI contractions, thinking a comprehensive curriculum will promote sexual activity among teens. The opposite is actually the truth. Other states with programs that expand beyond…

    In order to curb the sexually transmitted infection outbreak on campus I would employ a community level intervention. The intervention would take place in the on campus residences. I believe this is the best place to start implementing the intervention, because if students learn safe sex behaviours in their first year of university they will be more likely to carry these behaviours with them through the rest of their time at Laurier and hopefully after they graduate.

Comprehensive knowledge to these subjects will be provided in the classroom including: birth controls, the use of condoms to prevent STI/STD’s, sexual behavior, meanwhile also encouraging abstinence and delayed sexual activity.
