Abstract:

Little is known about the perception of adolescents on sexuality education and its benefits in Nigeria. This study aimed at assessing the adolescents’ awareness and perceived benefit of sexuality education. A descriptive research design and multistage sampling technique were used to select 200 adolescents across selected secondary schools. Hypothesis testing was conducted using Chi-Square at a 0.05 level of significance. High awareness of sexuality education was found among 87.1% of the respondents. The majority of the respondents had a good perception of sexuality education and its benefits. More studies are needed to test the effectiveness of such interventions among this population.
