However, little is known about the extent to which classroom teachers are trained to deliver sexuality education. Purpose: The purpose is to explore pre-service training experiences and needs of sexuality educatorsin Minnesota. Methods: Seven focus groups were conducted with a diverse sample of 41 sexuality educators, and qualitative analysis was used to detect themes across groups. Results: Results indicate a wide variety of pre-service teaching experience, ranging from no instruction to extensive training. Teachers had numerous suggestions for ways their training could have better prepared them to teach sexuality education, such as ways of working with culturally diverse students. Teachers described many ways in which they were unprepared in their first year of teaching sexuality education. Discussion: Training programs to prepare sexuality educators are not adequately preparing teachers for their multifaceted role. Findings point to the need to train sexuality educators differently than teachers for other subjects. Translation to Health Education Practice: Findings indicate that pre-service training programs should greatly expand their offerings, tighten requirements and hone methodologies in sexuality education to meet the needs of today’s teachers and students.  \nEisenberg ME, Madsen N, Oliphant JA, Sieving RE, Resnick M.“Am I qualified?

Proper preparation for this task is essential. In addition, U.S. adolescents have among the highest rates of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the industrialized world.2,3 School-based sexuality education programs are an established part of a panoply of prevention strategies that  \nhave the capacity to reduce high risk sexual practices among youth, thereby reducing unplanned pregnancy and STIs in this population.4 Maximizing their effectiveness is an important public health goal.  \nSCHool-BaSeD SexualITy eDuCaTIon  \nOver the past few decades, policy debates have focused on what constitutes appropriate content of school-based sexuality education. At present, policies vary considerably across the United States, with the majority of states requiring some form of sexuality education in public schools.5 Additionally, past research shows that almost all students will receive sexuality education before they  \nMarla E.
