Sexuality plays a major role in most people's lives, and encompasses a range of behaviors and meanings that are shaped by individual, social and cultural factors. Promoting sexual well-being, and preventing sexual health problems (such as HIV and other STI's, sexual violence, unwanted pregnancies, stigmatization and discrimination based on sexual behavior/identity, and violations of sexual and reproductive autonomy) are vital tasks for public health.
Jointly created and delivered by the Departments of Population and Family Health and of Sociomedical Sciences, faculty and students in the Sexuality and Health Track work to improve the well-being of men, women, and adolescents in the area of healthy sexuality. It is the first program of its kind - designed to provide public health students with the conceptual tools and practical skills necessary to identify, analyze, and address health issues connected to sexuality.
