Sexuality app to provide safe, reliable information for young people

A mobile app being developed by the University of Canterbury (UC) will provide a ‘one-stop shop’ answering young people’s questions about sexuality.

University of Canterbury Health Education Lecturer Tracy Clelland is leading a project to develop a new relationships and sexuality app for young people.

Clelland says positive sexuality is a valuable resource for life. “This app is about giving young people knowledge, understanding and skills to have healthy, happy relationships across the life course.”

An app is a great way for young people to access information, she says, because most own and regularly use a mobile phone, and it is private.

“Young people keep saying they want better sexuality and relationship education. There’s a need for a resource that is accurate, non-judgmental, culturally appropriate and targeted to young people aged from 13 through to those in their 20s.

“Our app will include safe, reliable information about sex as well as gender, consent, love, and where to access help.”
