Sexual health policy analysis in selected European Countries

Description:The aim of this research is to add to the Evidence into Action series (Burtney 2000a), which explores issues relating to teenage sexual health in Scotland, by: 1. critically analysing and contrasting a selection of European policy approaches to the promotion of young people's sexual health in comparison to Scotland 2. increasing knowledge about ‘good practice' in sexual health promotion for young people in general. Four countries have been chosen for comparison with Scotland within this report: Finland, France, the Netherlands and Romania. These particular countries were chosen to provide a cross-section of countries to include Northern, Western and Central Eastern Europe .
