Sexual Health and Your Patients: A Provider's Guide

This guide was created to help primary care providers (physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and nurse-midwives) learn how to better incorporate sexual health discussions and recommended preventive sexual health services into an adult or adolescent wellness visit. Although intended for primary care, providers in other care settings may also find it useful.

Sexual Health eLearning Module

This online module will allow participants to define sexual health and the various factors that make up human sexuality, understand sexual function and dysfunction, and discuss the provider’s role in fostering healthy sexuality with patients.

Youth Online Data Tool

This online tool allows those working in adolescent sexual health settings to analyze national, state, and local Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) data from 1991 to 2015. Data from high school and middle school surveys are included. Data can be filtered and sorted based on race/ethnicity, sex, grade, or site; customized tables and graphs can be created, and statistical tests can be performed by site and health topic. Topics include sexual behaviors, HIV testing, alcohol and drug use, and more.
