FORUM Sexuality Education and Familiy Planning
This edition of FORUM describes current international research results relating to youth sexuality from Germany, Switzerland, France and the United Kingdom.
At the beginning of September, the German Federal Centre for Health Education (BZgA) published new data on youth sexuality in Germany in 2010. The results reported in the first article in this issue focus on migration: statements made by young people from a migration background on their attitudes and behaviour related to sexuality education, sexuality and contraception were evaluated separately and can thus be compared with the data from the main cohort – with interesting results.

FORUM Sexuality Education and Familiy Planning
When we first discussed the issue of “sexuality and disability” in the FORUM series (issue 2/3-2001), the Editorial discussed “admitting what you don’t know”: today the range of this issue remains extensive. We are therefore extremely pleased to re-examine the issue of “sexuality and disability”, and to look at new themes, again discussed by excellent authors.

Pregnancy and termination of pregnancy in underage women
Pregnancies and pregnancy terminations amongst women under the age of 18 in Germany are, by international standards, relatively rare. This is thanks to preventive measures tailored specifically to their target group.The Bundeszentrale für gesundheitliche Aufklärung (BZgA) supports this preventive work with measures and campaigns that are developed on the basis of scientific insights. It is thus dependent on empirical research in order to guarantee that these preventive efforts match the needs of the target group. It is for this reason that the BZgA supported the research project presented here. It was carried out between 2005 and 2008.
