Episode 16 Rebecca MacGilleEathain – young peoples experiences of sex education

May 06, 2016

In Episode 16 Karen talks to Rebecca MacGilleEathain (Maclean), a doctoral student at the University of the West of Scotland. Rebecca's work is on young people’s experiences of sex education and their knowledge. Education is devolved in the UK, so Scotland's education policy is different to policies in other countries across the UK. In the podcast I talk to Rebecca about her study, asking her about her methods and then the knowledge and understandings young people she spoke to had about sexual health. Alongside a survey Rebecca conducted focus group discussions with boys so I ask her about the findings from this aspect of the work.
