Abstract
This article discusses an audit of 308 contraception quizzes and 235 sexually transmitted infection (STI) quizzes. The quizzes were completed as part of a specialist sexual health lesson at schools and colleges in Cardiff. The lessons were conducted by a sexual health educator and the audit was designed to examine pupils’ existing sexual health knowledge before a specialist lesson. The audit measures Key Stage 3 and 4 students’ knowledge against the Welsh Assembly Government’s Framework for Personal and Social Education (PSE). Relevant educational and health research are critiqued to provide background rationale for the audit. The results show an increase in sexual health knowledge from Year 9. Males have lower levels of contraception knowledge when compared to their female classmates. Both sexes have more knowledge of STIs than contraception. The audit recommends greater involvement of school nurses in sexual health education, the creation of a strategy for school nurses involved in sexual education and further exploration of methods to assess sexual health learning in the classroom.
