This framework points to the importance of programming for sexual health across the five domains of laws, policies and human rights; education; society and culture; economics; and health. Using a multisectoral rights-based approach, it outlines elements of a programme-based response, together with key entry points for the promotion of sexual health by providing information and support for both broadbased and targeted community education initiatives.

The first Canadian guidelines for sexual health education was published in 1994 and was later revised in 2003. Both editions were developed with the expertise of professionals in various areas of sexual health, including education, public health, women's issues, health promotion, medicine, nursing, social work and psychology. The Guidelines are grounded on evidence-based research placed within a Canadian context. The 2008 edition is based on the 2003 edition.
