Issues of reproductive health development in schoolchildren and preventive measures to address them

Abstract

Currently, there are many problems with the reproductive health of schoolchildren, which can have an adverse effect on the future generations. This article overviews the current papers highlighting the most common problems that negatively affect reproductive health. The key conclusions include statements of the existing problems and suggested measures to counter them. Statements: as a rule, schoolchildren lack sufficient knowledge and skills in the field of reproductive health; often, they do not know the physiological characteristics of their body or cannot navigate them, do not recognize what is normal and what is not in the context of the age-driven development of the body. Measures: educational establishments need to develop and implement preventive measures and programs aimed at teaching schoolchildren the correct reproductive behavior.
