Adolescents in India face barriers to accurate and constructive information about sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). The "flipped classroom" provides SRHR information via mobile app, and allows students to study the material privately at home at their own pace.Class time is then used for questions, deeper learning, analysis, clarification, and discourse with a skilled facilitator such as a teacher or health professional.
The project integrates technology and high mobile penetration in India, with innovative pedagogy with inputs from education specialists, teachers, parents, health educators, etc. It may also be adapted for other settings or used as a model for policy development.
Discussing sexuality is still considered a taboo in Indian Society. Sexual health education to school children and adolescents is a challenge for teachers and is seldom taught in a way to create medically appropriate, affirmative outlook towards sexuality. The problem is compounded by myths associated with sex information resulting in high risk sexual behaviour, teenage pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections & sexual crimes. The problem is much higher in Rajasthan leading to sex discrimination. Age appropriate and adequate Adolescent Sexual & Reproductive Health (ASRH) will also have positive impact on decline in maternal and infant mortality. Researchers have also shown that ASRH intervention also encourage health service utilization by young people.
All India Institute of Medical Sciences Jodhpur (AIIMSJ) is committed to best healthcare to the community of Rajasthan. As part of its mandate, AIIMS Jodhpur adopts innovative methods to serve the public. Schools are the most appropriate place for integrating healthy attitudes and beliefs for children of all ages. Firstly, student spends about 7-8 hours of their day in schools. Secondly, school teachers because of their training and passion, understand the student better and are also in a position to mould their teaching as per the need of an individual child. Thirdly, adolescents, especially during 10-15 years of age have pubertal changes and provide the second most important window of opportunity where they can be moulded very easily. They are receptive, inquisitive and seeks independence. Ayushman Bharat has also in-built program to target school-children through linkage with Health & Wellness Centers.
