Sexual Health: A Multidisciplinary Approach

Sexual health is now seen as multi-dimensional, a product of complex interplay between biological, psychological, and socio-cultural factors. This book brings together 34 expert Australian practitioners and researchers to provide a comprehensive, authoritative, up-to-date, and stimulating perspective on sexual health.

This book covers areas including:

• Foundations for sexual health
• Sexual health in Australia
• Sexual health in specific populations, such as adolescents; older adults; lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people; refugees; and homeless yout
• Sexual health in clinical practice
• Contraception, and options for unintended pregnancy
• The legal environment of sexual healthcare practice
• Prevention strategies

For tertiary-level students of nursing, medicine, public health, health promotion, and sexology, this new book will be an ideal textbook. For healthcare practitioners working in reproductive health, sexual health, maternal and child health, and many other specialist fields, it will be an invaluable first reference.
