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-------------------

All information and questions related to issue and embed this into ePortfolio.

Level 3
Higher Level Questions and 3 potential advantages/disadvantages for each issue

Topic 1: The HPV Vaccine Debate

Information Necessary to Understand Topic

Potential Sources

Basic Overview: the HPV vaccine debate is should schoolchildren be required to receive the three-course vaccination against HPV, the sexually transmitted infection that causes 12,000 cases of cervical cancer each year.

What it Does Protect Against: 1. cervical cancer 2. genital warts 3.cancer of the anus and vagina

What it Doesnt Protect (Think!): 1. does not protect from having sex 2. women who are already exposed to one or more HPV types 3. emotional issues % 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. less HPVs 1. pregnancy + -

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
2. emotional 3. promiscuis sex -

2. safer sex + 3. protects against cancer +

% of Cervical Cancer Protection:

70%
How Many Shots:

3
Cost: $130 per shot

Does this promote promiscuity or should we take advantage of something that could potentially help us?

yes it is called gardesal

I dont think it promotes promiscuity because it is protective and used for the right reasons.

Level 5/Extra Credit/Going Beyond: Define Herd Immunity and explain how it applies to the debate.

Topic 2: Emergency Contraception (Plan B)

Information Necessary to Understand Topic

Potential Sources

Basic Overview: Plan B is a pill you take the morning after sex in order to prevent pregnancy.

Intended Use (Why people use it): to prevent a pregnancy

How close to failed / no contraceptives: (Time Frame?) 72-120 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. prevents pregnancy 1. careless decision + -

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
2. side effects 3. abortion -

2. cheap option + 3. +

Do You Need a Prescription?: Must be 17 or older without prescription, but under age you do. Mechanism of action-how it works:

Cost: $10 to $70

Delays ovulation by not releasing the egg and not released from the ovary. Level 5: How is this similar/different than the abortion pill (RU-486)?

Does this promote people not taking accountability for their choices or provide an alternative to someone not wanting to get pregnant?

Yes because they have a Plan B

Topic 3: The Condom Availability Debate

Information Necessary to Understand Topic

Potential Sources

Basic Overview: A condom is used for protection during sex and the debate is whether they should be given out during sex.

Provide one stat on teen pregnancy. Cite: 820,000 teens get pregnant every year

Provide one stat on teen pregnancy. Cite: 80% of teen pregnancies are unintended

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. 1. + prevent pregnancy - can promote sex

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
2. 3. -

In your opinion do these statistics warrant public educations involvement? I think this is enough for schools to get involved because the rate is so high of pregnancy.

2. +easy to get 3. + safer sex

What does a schools condom availability program look like? Who gets condoms, where, when and how? A schools condom availability is given to students who would like one in order to be safe.

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 ?

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.
