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

Basic Overview and Whether You Agree or Disagree

My Level: ABSENT?

Basic Questions to Issue and 1 potential advantage/disadvantage

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 prevents cervical cancer and Gardasil which are caused by the HPV virus.

What it Does Protect Against: 1.Cervical cancer 2.gardasil 3. genital warts

What it Doesnt Protect (Think!): 1. there are many strand of HPV and this only protects against four 2. pregnancy 3. other STDs

% of Cervical Cancer Protection:

75%
How Many Shots: 3 shots Cost:$130 per dose and $390 for the full series

% 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. This prevents large outbreaks 1. This does not prevent many of of HPV which is transmittable to the potential strands of HPV so it is other people. still possible to get HPV. 2. This helps to prevent cervical 2. Can lead to serious neurological cancer that has the chance to problems. spread to other areas like cancer does. 3. This prevents Gardasil in both 3. There are side effects that many men and women people do not consider worth the vaccine

HPV Vaccine

Does this promote promiscuity or should we take advantage of something that could potentially help us? People should take advantage of this prevention if they are going to be sexually active at any time in their life. The promiscuity that they may take part in is entirely up to that person and what he/she believes in.

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: Birth control to be used after sexual intercourse that had none or failed contraception.

Intended Use (Why people use it): It should be used after sexual intercourse that had failed contraception or none at all Do You Need a Prescription?: No, you do not.

How close to failed / no contraceptives: (Time Frame?) Take it within 120 hours or five days after unprotected sexual intercourse. Cost:

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 unplanned pregnancy 1. A child is not born

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

2. A child who would not have a home does not have to suffer 3. People dont have to go to abortion clinics

2. They may not always work when youre counting on it. 3. It adds stress because you want to take the pill before your five days are up

Mechanism of action-how it works:

Just like birth control pills emergency contraceptives either stop the ovum from leaving the ovary or prevent the sperm from meeting the ovum. 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? I would say that it does in that it alleviates the responsibility of having contraception before sexual intercourse and provides an easy solution for after the problem. Instead of problem prevention it is problem solving.

Topic 3: The Condom Availability Debate

Information Necessary to Understand Topic
Basic Overview: Whether or not condoms should be available in schools.

Potential Sources

Provide one stat on teen pregnancy. In 2011, a total of 329,797 babies were born to women aged 1519 years, for a live birth rate of 31.3 per 1,000 women in this age group

Provide one stat on teen STDs. An estimated 8,300 young people aged 1324 years in the 40 states reporting to CDC had HIV infection in 20092

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. People would hopefully have 1. It might make people feel that safer intercourse everyone is doing it so they should.

2. everyone will have the ability to use contraception

2. children that are too young will get condoms

In your opinion do these statistics warrant public educations involvement? I do not think that schools should be any more involved in students lives than education and school sponsored extra curricular. What does a schools condom availability program look like? Who gets condoms, where, when and how?

3. There will hopefully be less teen pregnancies.

3. people might use it as an excuse to become sexually active.

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 tha t will do it anywaysif so is it even a schools place to get involved ? I think it will

promote sexual activity negatively and encourage teens to do more.

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.
