R & C of Sexual Activity: Lesson 6, Analysis of Recent Developments in Repro Health
Type of Work: Indy Product: Doc/Embedded Class Time: Period EOC: Embed/Snip (Lesson 6) Due: Next Period
Concept: Below are some of the most recent developments related to reproductive health in our society. Your job will be to provide an analysis of these developments. As we discussed in the beginning of the unit sex ed is a values driven topic. These issues are inherently controversial themselves because although there are facts that may help you understand them ultimately you see these facts through the prism of your own perception (values, morals, upbringing, etc.). The sources listed are just a starting point, remember that any information may be biased and it is your job as an educated consumer to carefully analyze information for validity, reliability, and bias. Goal: Provide an analysis of the recent developments in reproductive health demonstrating an understanding of content specific information necessary to understand each issue (ie. What strains are protected against in the HPV vaccine, approved locations for the Safe Haven law). Complete each level (not just 1) working from left to right based on level attempted. ----------------Snip Below This or Delete Top Contents for Evidence of Completion (All Fit on 1 Page) or I will Show You How to Embed-------------------

Topic 1: The HPV Vaccine Debate

Information Necessary to Understand Topic
Basic Overview:
Potential Sources
HPV vaccines are given as three shots to protect against HPV infection. The debate is whether females before 6th grade should be forced to get the vaccine by the government in order to protect against cancers.
What it Does Protect Against: 1. Cervical Cancer 2. Genital Warts 3. Cancers of the anus, vagina, and vulva % of Cervical Cancer Protection: What it Doesnt Protect (Think!): 1. Pregnancy 2. Emotional Issues 3. Women who are already exposed to it % of Genital Wart Protection: 90% Is there a shot for boys? What is it called?
My Level of Agreement: Highlight or Underline One (I think this is.) Really Really Bad For Good for Society Society Potential Advantages Potential Disadvantages 1. Reduce risk of cancers and 1. Serious side effect diseases
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
2. Makes people worry free + 3. HPV vaccine is safe
70%
How Many Shots: 3
2. May encourage sexual activity more 3. Kids are being forced to get the shot
Does this promote promiscuity or should we take advantage of something that could potentially help us?
Yes, the HPV vaccine is Gardasil.

Cost:$130 per shot
No I dont think this promotes promiscuity because its just protecting against diseases.
Topic 2: Emergency Contraception (Plan B)
Potential Sources

Basic Overview:
Emergency contraception is used to help keep a woman from getting pregnant after she has had sex without using birth control or if the birth control method failed. The major debate is that its kind of like abortion.
Intended Use (Why people use it): People use it to prevent pregnancy after sex. How close to failed / no contraceptives: (Time Frame?) 72 hours
My Level of Agreement: Highlight or Underline One (I think this is.) Really Really Bad For Good for Society Society Potential Advantages Potential Disadvantages 1. No baby 1. Careless decision + -
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
2. Major Side Effects -
2. Cheap
Do You Need a Prescription?: If you are 17 or older you dont need one Mechanism of action-how it works:
Cost: $10-70
3. Option/worry free +
3. Kind of like Abortion -
It works by either delaying or preventing ovulation, and perhaps by altering a woman's cervical mucus to create a hostile environment for sperm
Does this promote people not taking accountability for their choices or provide an alternative to someone not wanting to get pregnant?
Yes because people are being irresponsible by having unprotected sex and using Plan B as their condom.
Topic 3: The Condom Availability Debate

Basic Overview:
Potential Sources
The debate is whether condom should be available in school. However some believe by giving out condoms to students it is promoting sex.
Provide one stat on teen pregnancy. Cite: 820,000 teens get pregnant every year Provide one stat on teen pregnancy. Cite: 80 percent of teenage pregnancies are unintended
In your opinion do these statistics warrant public educations involvement?
Yes because the stats are so high so schools should be getting involved in order to help teens.
My Level of Agreement: Highlight or Underline One (I think this is.) Really Really Bad For Good for Society Society Potential Advantages Potential Disadvantages 1. Prevent Pregnancy 1. Teens may rely on condoms too + much 2. Reduced spread of STD 2. Promotes sexual activity + 3. Easier to get (convenient) 3. Teens will take advantage of it, + Waste it - Teens will be irresponsible
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
What does a schools condom availability program look like? Who gets condoms, where, when and how?
So the big question is how would condom availability affect the student body? Does it promote unhealthy behavior or are you providing a healthy outlet for those that will do it anywaysif so is it even a schools place to get involved ?
I think it promotes sexually activity because if schools give them out teens will take too big of an advantage of it.
Level 5/Extra Credit/Going Beyond: What does your research say/cite? Do condoms make a difference? Cite at least 1 study and the results.
Topic 4: The Safe Haven Law

Basic Overview:
Potential Sources
1 2 3 4 5 6
The purpose of safe haven laws is to ensure that relinquished infants are left with persons who can provide the immediate care needed for their safety and well-being. Its a place to leave ur child if you cannot care for it

What happens to parental rights? What is Illinois Law exactly?
