#79 8th Australian Survey of Secondary Students and Sexual Health with Dr Jennifer Power

In this episode, Leon from SHV speaks to Professor Jennifer Power about the results from the 2024 Australian Survey of Secondary Students and Sexual Health (SSASH) survey from Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society (ARCSHS) at LaTrobe University. The study explores young people’s experiences of sex, relationships, sexual health and school-based relationships and sexuality education (RSE). Dr Power talks through some key statistics from the survey as well as how people can potentially support young people and their sexual health.
