公共卫生研究提倡对妇女，特别是母亲进行教育，指出受过教育的母亲极有可能将其教育传给子女，并在家中推行健康做法，从而保护整个家庭免受疾病之害。虽然对于流感等大多数传染病来说，情况通常如此，但对于艾滋病毒/艾滋病等性传播感染来说，情况通常并非如此。本研究是根据1996年对高中生（17-19岁）的调查焦点小组讨论和对10名高中教师的访谈进行的。2003年，从一个有四年级学生的焦点小组以及与4名教师和15名女儿上高中的母亲的访谈中收集了数据。调查结果表明，肯尼亚城市中大多数受过教育的母亲都受到社会文化和宗教方面的限制，这妨碍了她们向青春期前和青春期的女儿提供有意义的性教育。本文讨论了这些禁忌和受过教育的母亲采取的步骤，以确保他们的女儿接受某种形式的性教育。(c)2006年由Elsevier Ltd.出版
Public health studies advocate the education of women, especially mothers, stating that educated mothers are highly likely to pass on their education to their children, as well as enforce in their homes healthy practices thereby protecting entire families from disease. Whereas this is usually true in regard to most infectious diseases such as influenza, it is not usually the case when it comes to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as HIV/AIDS. The research is based on a survey focus group discussion with high-school students (aged 17-19) and interviews with 10 high-school teachers in 1996. In 2003, data were collected from a focus group with fourth-form students and interviews with 4 teachers and 15 mothers whose daughters were in high school. The findings indicate that most educated mothers in urban Kenya experience sociocultural and religious inhibitions which hinder them from providing meaningful sex-education to their pre-adolescent and adolescent daughters. This paper discusses these inhibitions and the steps educated mothers take to ensure that their daughters receive some form of sex-education. (c) 2006 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
