Abstract

Sexual health education is a broadly based, community-supported activity that requires full participation of the medical, educational, public health, social welfare and legal systems in our society. Information, Motivation, Behavioural skills (IMB) model is used to create effective sexual health education programs. This model can help individuals to reduce risk behaviours, to prevent sexual health-related problems and to guide individuals in enhancing sexual health. Sexual health education programs are based on the three components of the model: Information- Will help individuals to be better informed Motivation- Will motivate individuals acquire the relevant behavioural skills that will likely to reduce negative outcomes and enhance sexual health. Behaviuoral Skills-Will help individuals acquire the relevant behavioural skills that will likely to reduce negative outcomes and enhance sexual helath.
