"Researchers taught two different groups of 7th grade students about their s*xual health over an 8-lesson course – once during the 2018-2019 school year and again in the 2023-2024 school year. After the courses were completed, each group of students was given a questionnaire on what they learned and their attitudes about s*xual health topics. Despite both groups showing interest in the topic, the 2023-2024 group reported more negative feelings and beliefs regarding s*xual education than their peers in the 2018-2019 group."

Students expressed decreased openness and engagement with the topic post-pandemic, according to new research.
