School Sexual Health Promotion (Incl.STI, HIV/AIDS) (BT)
This initial collection or research references, reports and resources has been started by the International School Health Network from a previous Canadian project. Visitors to and members of this wiki-based web site are welcome to add references (using the Easy Edit" tool found at the top of the page or commenting on the collection by using the "thread" tool found at the bottom of the page. (All previous versions of this page are automatically saved by the system, so don't hesitate to edit this page. Eventually, when time and resources permit, this initial collection will be formatted in accordance with the outline for bibliographies/ toolboxes relating to health,safety and social development issues used in this knowledge exchange program.
In this outline, we identify relevant research, reports and resources within an understanding of the issue that we describe as an ecological and systems-based approach to school-based and school-linked health, safety, social and sustainable development. This outline suggests that we need a holistic understanding of the nature, prevalence, aspects and factors affecting the issue, the influence of the school's physical and social environment as well as its core practices, the effectiveness of comprehensive approaches, coordinated agency-school programs and whole school strategies as well as individual interventions, how these interventions can be implemented and sustained while ongoing capacities are built at all levels within education, health and other systems in a manner that respects the complex, open, loosely-coupled and bureaucratic systems that support schools. This outline also lists links that apply these interventions in a variety of local community and country contexts with a deep understanding of the core mandates and constraints of schools and educators. The outline concludes with items relating to future research questions, and methods.
Interventions are defined as including policies (including professional practice guidelines and organizational practices), educational programs, health, social, student & other services, social support activities such as parent involvement, youth engagement, working with media and community and changes to the physical environment or other practical resources such as transportation to and from school. The research cited here includes research reviews, important case studies and textbooks. The reports includes discussion/position papers and status reports. The resources include examples of programs/guidelines/mandates, planning guides/manuals, educational programs/curricula/educational methods guides, health or other agency service/clinical guidelines/mandates to work with schools, policy tools/guidelines/examples, assessment/evaluation tools, training tools and other resources such as key web sites or organizations.
Framework for Listing Research, Reports and Resources on Specific Health/Social Topics

Framework for Listing Research, Reports and Resources on Specific Health/Social Topics
This framework or outline includes these sections:
A. Understanding the Issue: (Prevalence, nature, strengths, assets and aspects of the problem, behaviour theories that explain it)
B. Impact, Role of the School on the Problem (Influence of the physical and social environment, school organization & practices)
C. Effects of Comprehensive Approaches (Multi-issue, multi-level, multi-system programs) Coordinated Programs and Services (School-Agency Programs and Whole School (Educator Only Programs)
D. Effects of Individual Evidence-based Interventions (Including Policy, Instruction, Services, Social Support, Physical Environment Interventions)
E. Implementation, Capacity, Sustainability and Systems Change (Including Evidenced-based, Practical and Strategic Implementation Strategies, diffusion or education change theories, Capacity-building/Continuous Improvement and Strategic Consideration of System/Agency/School Characteristics
F Consideration of Local Community Contexts (Including rural, cultural, disadvantaged, faith etc)
G. Consideration of and Integration within the Constraints and Educational Mandate of the School
H Questions related to Future and Current Research (Methods, link to educational outcomes, cost-effectiveness etc)
