Evaluation and implementation of SEXIT in student health
The aim of the project is to evaluate the use of the SEXIT method as part of regular health talks at junior high and high school.
SEXIT (Sexual Health Identification Tool) is an evidence-based method developed for youth clinics with the aim that young people who are sexually at risk or vulnerable and/or young people with experience of violence should be identified and offered relevant care and support. By detecting these young people, early interventions can be put in place and the development of serious illness can be prevented. In the project, student health personnel from all over the country will be trained in the method and after they have conducted interviews in accordance with the method, the student health personnel's experiences will be collected through a questionnaire study. Results from the study will form the basis for possible adaptation of the method and inform future implementation strategies. If the outcome of the evaluation indicates that SEXIT is a well-functioning method in student health, additional student health personnel will be trained in the method, in a second stage of the project.
