Making the connection: sexuality and reproductive health.

SIECUS has for the past 35 years worked with educators, reproductive health care providers, medical professionals, and policymakers to promote sexuality education and sexual health for all people. SIECUS most recently compiled information in the booklet "Making the Connection: Sexuality and Reproductive Health" designed to help program planners, providers, and policymakers understand the link between sexuality and reproductive health. Reproductive health care providers help people manage their sexual lives. Individuals' reproductive health care decisions depend upon their ability to make informed and healthy choices about their sexuality. Providers and program planners need to address sexuality issues as an integral part of reproductive health. Sexuality-related definitions are presented and issues relevant to reproductive health care clinics are noted.
