Item Psycho-sexual characteristics of youths attending a voluntary family life education programme in Ibadan(Association of Community Physicians of Nigeria, 1995-12) Asuzu, M. C.; Odor, O. E.; Asuzu, C. C.Public family life and sex education programmes have remained a rather controversial issue all over the world. The controversy has usually concerned the value base on which such programmes are designed, as well as the value base of those who will deliver the programmes; and therefore, the psychosocial and moral impact that such programmes may have on their recipients who usually are from different religious, moral or ethical backgrounds. In order to overcome these misgivings, an annual public and voluntary family life education programme was developed in Ibadan based on free, multiple but individually clear value based, as the ethical and religious background of the attenders indicate. The socio-demographic characteristics and the attitudes and practices of the youths in relation to two of the topics covered in the 1991 programme- drugs and sexual intercourse are reported in this paper. Reported sexual experience among the youths was 18.4% with an indication that regardless of previous experience, 65.5% of them would want to limit sexual intercourse in the future to marriage only. Experience of the youthsItem Health educational needs assessment and curriculum development for formal adolescent education in human sexuality and family life(Association of Community Physicians of Nigeria, 1989-10) Asuzu, M. C.; Odor, O. E.; Asuzu, C. C.; Oyejide, C. O.The experiences from various social and health service centres in Nigeria indicate a rising incidence of sex-related disorders among our youths. Evidence suggest that at the basis of these problems are both ignorance on the part of the youths as well as other deficiencies in adolescent youth development caused by the current industrial ‘development in the country, with is attendant effect on the stability of family life and the erstwhile established (traditional) child upbringing patterns. This study assesses the programme developed over the proceeding 4 years by the authors in response to the above problems in adolescent development in Nigeria. It shows that the present programme meets 88.7% of the sex educational needs of these youths studied, this being 92.5% of all those who answered this particular question in the study. The historical development of the curriculum, programme format, course content and other findings of the study are presented and discussed. Based on the findings, recommendations are made towards the development of locally relevant sex education programmes for the Nigerian and other sociologically similar groups of youths.Item Curriculum development for health professional service training in NFP and its related services(Mike and Rita Marker, 1989) Asuzu, M.
