Cath Hak review (external link)

As a group, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people experience higher rates of sexually transmitted infections, blood-borne viruses, and teen pregnancy than non-Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. This resource sheet examines evidence on the effectiveness of sexual health education programs for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It outlines what works, what doesn't, and what further research is needed.
