education about:
- The reproductive system

All young adults need to learn about women's and men's reproductive
systems, their fertility, the menstrual cycle and its relationship
to pregnancy, and how pregnancy occurs. Awareness of fertility
also includes, in a broader sense, an understanding of attitudes
and cultural norms about fertility, contraception and childbearing.
Knowing how the process of reproduction works is important for
both young men and women. By understanding the relationship
of the menstrual cycle to fertility, males and females may be
better able to communicate about pregnancy prevention.
