Relationships and sexuality education for young people in Australia and elsewhere is a controversial topic. Numerous studies in Australia have focused on curriculum, policy, teachers, schools, sexting and other behaviours, and knowledge regarding sexually transmitted infection (STI)/human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and pregnancy prevention. Few large-scale national studies have engaged with young people about what they want out of their sex education, and what they suggest would be most valuable for future programs in Australia. Data for the study included qualitative comments about experiences of sex education (n = 2316) provided in a national survey of adolescent sexual health. An initial thematic inductive analysis identified comments falling into two dominant themes: positive and negative experiences of their sex education. Results indicate that young people in Australia are articulate and understanding of the gaps in their sex education. A majority of comments highlighted negative experiences. These comments primarily discussed issues of delivery (timing, environment, person) and content quality (comprehensiveness). A minority highlighted positive commentary also around delivery (environment, person) and content quality (comprehensiveness). The findings of this study illuminate contemporary adolescent concerns regarding their experiences of education. Understanding these experiences can inform future curriculum development, teacher training and the design and implementation of policy.

“说实话，这有点不好”：澳大利亚学生的人际关系和性教育经历。

在澳大利亚和其他地方，对年轻人的关系和性教育是一个有争议的话题。澳大利亚的许多研究都集中在课程，政策，教师，学校，性教育和其他行为上，以及有关性传播感染（STI）/人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）和预防怀孕的知识。很少有大规模的国别研究与年轻人接触，他们希望从性教育中获得什么，以及他们提出的建议对澳大利亚未来的计划最有价值。该研究的数据包括有关性教育经历的定性评论（n = 2316）在青少年性健康全国调查中提供。最初的主题归纳分析确定评论分为两个主要主题：性教育的正面和负面经验。结果表明，澳大利亚的年轻人清楚地了解了他们性教育中的差距。大多数评论强调了负面经历。这些评论主要讨论了交付（时间，环境，人员）和内容质量（全面性）的问题。少数人还强调了有关交付（环境，人）和内容质量（综合性）的正面评论。这项研究的结果阐明了当代青少年对其教育经历的关注。了解这些经验可以为将来的课程开发提供信息，
