Interdisciplinary Research on Gender and Reproductive Health in Asia

关于在亚洲国家呈上升趋势的艾滋病毒/艾滋病，我们打算进行实地调查，以确定人们对以下问题的看法：性和性行为；关于包括艾滋病毒/艾滋病在内的性传播疾病的知识水平；亚洲国家（五个国家，韩国，尼泊尔，泰国，老挝和印度尼西亚）对性和生殖的看法。此外，在印度尼西亚，我们基于在印度尼西亚西加里曼丹进行的调查，开展了一项干预研究，培训同伴咨询师（高中生和大学生），并支持他们的活动和评估同伴教育。对亚洲国家的调查结果显示，在开展性教育的过程中，存在着阻力和禁忌，不能谈论“性”。因此，性教育主要是关于性的道德教育和生物方面的知识教育。作为防止艾滋病毒/艾滋病或性传播疾病增加的一项措施，在开展性教育和青少年教育时，同伴咨询是有效的。印度尼西亚同伴活动的内容是在知识教育或道德教育的框架内进行的。印度尼西亚版同伴领袖培训计划是根据日本同伴咨询和同伴教育协会（JPCAEA）的项目内容开发的。项目制定要考虑到该地区的文化、宗教、习俗等，有必要进行领袖培训和活动拓展。

In relation to HIV/AIDS, which is showing a tendency to increase in Asian countries, we intend to conduct a field survey to establish people’s views on the following: Sexuality and sexual behavior; the level of knowledge regarding sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDS; views on sexuality and reproduction in Asian countries (five nations, South Korea, Nepal, Thailand, Laos, and Indonesia). Moreover, in Indonesia, we carried out an intervention study to train peer counselors (high school and universitystudents) on-site and support their activities and evaluate the peer education, based on the investigation conducted in West Kalimantan in Indonesia.The result of investigation of Asian countries, in carrying out approach of sex education, there were resistance and the taboo of talking about a "sex." Therefore, sex education was mainly the moral education and the knowledge education of a biological aspect about a sex. As a measure against the increase in HIV/AIDS or a sexually transmitted disease, when carrying out sex education and adolescence education, peer counseling is effective. The contents of peer activity of Indonesia are carried out within the framework of knowledge education or moral education. The Indonesia version Peer leader training program was developed based on the contents of a program of Japan peer counseling and a peer Education Association (JPCAEA). Program development is performed taking into consideration the culture, religion, custom, etc. of the region, and there is the necessity for leader training and activity expansion.
