A Scoping Review Exploring LGBTQIA+ Student Perspectives on the Inclusivity and Effectiveness of School-Based Sexuality Education in Australia

= 10) approaches. Studies consistently reported limited inclusive content and ineffectiveness for LGBTQIA+ students. Five themes emerged: curriculum content, perceived relevance, delivery context, student responses, and educational and psychosocial outcomes. Findings reveal systemic barriers to inclusive sexuality education and a need for more standardized, student-informed approaches. Limitations include methodological heterogeneity and inconsistent terminology, underscoring the need for more robust, standardized research. To improve outcomes for LGBTQIA+ students, sexuality education must be comprehensive, consistently implemented, and explicitly inclusive.

Abstract

= 10) approaches. Studies consistently reported limited inclusive content and ineffectiveness for LGBTQIA+ students. Five themes emerged: curriculum content, perceived relevance, delivery context, student responses, and educational and psychosocial outcomes. Findings reveal systemic barriers to inclusive sexuality education and a need for more standardized, student-informed approaches. Limitations include methodological heterogeneity and inconsistent terminology, underscoring the need for more robust, standardized research. To improve outcomes for LGBTQIA+ students, sexuality education must be comprehensive, consistently implemented, and explicitly inclusive.
