dc.description.abstractSexuality education is a part of the health education process in schools. However, many programs of sexuality education do not consider the needs of children and adolescents. This study is based on an analysis of the interests of children and adolescents about sexuality. The sample covered 32 classes from primary school to higher education in the northern region of Portugal. The methodology was mixed, collecting data through open questions. It used an A5 white page, containing only options to indicate age, school grade, and sex. In the white space, students wrote their questions/doubts. A database was built in the program SPSS and categories were established a priori following the key concepts for sexuality education defined by UNESCO. A pattern of issues and interests was found depending on the age group and sex, noting that the children’s interests are related to conception, birth, and the well-being of the fetus/newborn. Adolescents’ interests are focused on contraception, sexually transmitted infections, and relationships. This study can help teachers to promote sexuality education which is appropriate to the developmental stage of their students, motivating them to better learn and leading to a reduction in risky sexual behaviors and conscious decision making for healthy sexuality.pt_PT
