Lessons from early sex education efforts: The Health League of Canada

In this podcast, Professor Catherine Carstairs tells listeners about one of the first sex education efforts in our country called the Health League of Canada. In light of Ontario Premier Doug Ford's controversial move to go back to using a sex education curriculum that was created in 1998, it is helpful to examine historical efforts, and past failures, to educate the public about sex and sexually transmitted infection. Professor Catherine Carstairs is department chair and professor of history at the University of Guelph. Her studies include the history of health and illness and the history of public health.Full humanities article: www.cmaj.ca/lookup/doi/10.1503/cmaj.180773----------------------------------------------------------------------This podcast episode is brought to you by Audi Canada.The Canadian Medical Association has partnered with Audi Canada to offer CMA members a preferred incentive on select vehicle models.
