    Aim
    To evaluate the impact of a new Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) educational package
    on SRH teaching skills of teachers and SRH knowledge and attitudes among teachers and
    students in schools.

    Background
    The global trend of early onset of puberty combined with increased
    age at marriage leading to increase in premarital sex is also observed
    in Sri Lanka where mean age of menarche is 11.4 and age of marriage
    is 24.6 years. The period between menarche and marriage is seen as
    a risk period for reproductive health of adolescents as they initiate
    and continue sexual activities which are often unsafe. These factors
    may lead to unwanted pregnancies, unsafe abortions, maternal
    deaths and contracting STIs including HIV/AIDS. Therefore, this
    study developed, introduced and evaluated a new SRH educational
    package as it is an urgent need to Sri Lanka.
