Sexual and reproductive health matters are still taboo because it is sensitive to be discussed publicly as it opposed the norms of Malaysian people, especially among high school students. This study sought to investigate the awareness, knowledge, attitudes, and practices towards sexual and reproductive health among high school students between the ages of 13 to 17 years old in Petaling Perdana district in Selangor, Malaysia. A cross-sectional survey study was conducted among 382 secondary school students using a self-administered validated questionnaire. Descriptive and MANOVA analyses were used to analyse the data. The results showed that the level of awareness, knowledge, attitude, and practices towards sexual and reproductive health was high among all secondary school students. The MANOVA analysis yielded significant differences towards practices on gender F (1, 380) = 16.035, p < .001, with males (M = 1.051) scoring higher than females (M = .661), and level of education F (4, 377) = 7.202, p < .001, with Form 5 students (M = 1.172) having the highest score. The study concluded that males had better sexual practices than females and students with a higher level of education have better understanding and practices towards their sexual and reproductive health.

Cross Sectional

The purpose of this paper is to explore the perceptions of self-reported HIV testing and risk behavior among sexually active adolescents and youth in secondary schools in Kampala Uganda. This was a cross-sectional survey conducted between June and October 2010 among secondary school students in Kampala, Uganda. Forty eight (48) students across the 54 schools were purposively selected for the qualitative sub-study based on their responses to particular questions. We thematically analyzed 28 interviews for our qualitative study using Nvivo software. Drug and alcohol use coupled with peers pressure impaired students’ perceptions towards HIV risk and therefore increased their susceptibility to HIV risk behaviors. Of the 28 scripts analyzed, 82% (23/28) had ever had sexual partners, 79% (22/28) were currently sexually active, and 57% (16/28) had ever been tested for HIV. In conclusion, most adolescents interviewed did not perceive HIV testing to be important to HIV prevention and reported low perception of susceptibility to HIV infection. Development of an adolescent HIV prevention model is important in improving uptake of HIV services.

Summary The German Pupils Academy (Deutsche Schüler-Akademie) is a summer-school program for highly gifted secondary-school students. Three types of program evaluation were conducted. Input evaluation confirmed the participants as intellectually highly gifted students who are intrinsically motivated and interested to attend the courses offered at the summer school. Process evaluation focused on the courses attended by the participants as the most important component of the program. Accordingly, the instructional approaches meet the needs of highly gifted students for self-regulated and discovery oriented learning. The product or impact evaluation was based on a multivariate social-cognitive framework. The findings indicate that the program contributes to promoting motivational and cognitive prerequisites for transforming giftedness into excellent performances. To some extent, the positive effects on students' self-efficacy and self-regulatory strategies are due to qualities of the learning environments established by the courses.
