Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Objective: To evaluate the impact of an intervention on sexual education in pupils of 1st and 2nd year of Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO), assessing the knowledge about the five most prevalent STIs, the knowledge of barrier methods, and practice of STI risky behaviours.In addition, to analyze whether biological sex conditions the role of submission in women versus the role of dominance in men.
Trial Design: Cluster randomised clinical trial.
Location: It will be carried out in the Basic Health Area of Sant Andreu de la Barca (Baix Llobregat Nord), Balaguer (Noguera), Alcarràs (Segrià) and Barcelona (Barcelona), in Catalonia, Spain.
Participants: Students enrolled in secondary education schools in ESO 1st and 2nd years who meet the selection criteria.
Instruments: As an intervention to be evaluated, an innovative educational methodology with a gender perspective will be carried out on adolescents through discussion with photographs, posters and a short film. No training intervention will be carried out in the control group during the study period, following the instructions of the Department of Education of the Generalitat of Catalonia.
Variables: Evaluation in both groups of knowledge, attitudes and risk practices related to STIs through a pre-intervention, post-intervention and post-post-intervention questionnaire validated in previous studies.
Applicability: The aim is to explore new educational methods to improve knowledge, attitudes and risk practices for STIs in future sexual relationships. Gender-sensitive training could contribute to freer and more egalitarian relationships and reduce the likelihood of violence against women that develops in adolescence.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention Group
The intervention of training-participatory activity will last between 45 and 60 minutes, divided into theoretical training of 15-30 minutes followed by discussion training of 30 minutes. Based on the projection of the posters, photographs and the short film, the pupils will be asked to participate and work on the problem of STIs as well as possible solutions. The group techniques of photo-talk and presentation with a discussion using the short film will be used. Finally, the training includes Kahoot®, a tool for learning and reviewing concepts in a fun, quiz-like way. Four multiple-choice questions have been included. They will learn in a participatory way about STIs, risk practices, barrier methods and health resources to consult or go to in case of suspicion of contracting an STI.
For the activity, a sequence of drawings and signs has been designed to put STIs, their causes and how to prevent infection into context.
Participatory teaching group
The intervention will be called FEDE-ITS® methodology. This methodology is self-designed and self-developed and draws on previous work in equivalent populations. It is based on teaching in a participatory way knowledge and healthy attitudes related to the five most prevalent STIs in the province of Barcelona and Lleida, the methods to avoid contagion, and the health resources that can be consulted in case of infection, contact with an infected person or concerns. In addition, a gender perspective is incorporated to contribute to freer and more egalitarian relationships and reduce the likelihood of violence against women which develops in adolescence.
The cross-cutting themes of the training are: health, pleasure, self-esteem, knowledge-based freedom of choice, equality between people and respect for sexual freedom. Therefore, the ultimate goal is to prevent abusive power relations and macho violence.
Control Group
Following the indications of the Department of Education and the "Health and School" Programme, non specific training intervention will be carried out in the control group out during the study period.
Sham control group
The "Health and School" program was implemented to promote health in schools, and for this reason the program's nurse attends annually to address problems related to sexual affective health within the curricular itinerary of each school, but not specifically on sexually transmitted infections or gender perspective.
