Dear Maria:

I have found the following references gave me a broad knowledge base covering international programs in sex education:


Canadian Guidelines for Sexual Health Education.  Ottawa: Ministry of National Health and Welfare, 1994

and the following methodological reviews:

Mitchell-DiCenso, A.  Systematic Overviews of the Prevention and Predictors of Adolescent Prenancy. Waterloo, Can: University of Waterloo PhD Dissertation, 1995

Kirby, D et al,  School-based programs to reduce sexual health behaviors: a review of effectiveness Pub Health Rep. 1994:109 (3):339-360

Oakley A, et al, Reviews of Effectiveness: Sexual Health Interventions for Young People.  London: Social Sciences Research Unit, Institute of Education, 1994.

Hope you find them useful
