Study Notes
Contraceptive Methods
- Male Condom: Rubber sheath rolled over the penis; effectiveness of 80-85%; low cost, easily accessible, reduces risk of STDs/STIs, effective in preventing HIV/AIDS.
- Implantable Hormone Device: Continuous release of hormones for five years with 99% effectiveness; requires a doctor for placement; no additional contraceptive benefits.
- Calendar Method: Allows women to track "safe" days for sex; theoretically 85% effective but realistically about 60%; no cost; requires tracking menstrual cycles.
- Sterilization: Vasectomy for males and tubal ligation for females; theoretically 100% effective; considered permanent and requires medical procedure with associated costs.
- Birth Control Pill: Alters natural ovulation cycle; theoretically 99-100% effective; low cost and easily available; requires daily intake after menstrual cycle begins.
- Birth Control Injection: Administered by a doctor within the first days of menstruation, then every 2-3 months; effectiveness and mechanism not specified.
- Withdrawal Method: Involves removing the penis before ejaculation; theoretically 85% effective, but realistically about 70%; relies on timing and control of the male partner.
- Intrauterine Device (IUD): Inserted into the uterus by a doctor; provides long-lasting pregnancy prevention with an effectiveness of 95-98%.
Adolescent Risk-Taking Behavior
- Defined as engaging in potentially health-compromising activities with little understanding of negative consequences.
- Adolescents may experiment with smoking, drinking, drug use, sexual intimacy, and violence as they explore identity and independence.
- Identified health risks include substance use, premarital sex, early childbearing, abortion, HIV/AIDS, violence, accidents, malnutrition, and mental health issues.
- Signs of trouble among teens: sexual promiscuity, substance abuse, legal violations, aggressive behavior, deterioration in hygiene and appearance, chronic lateness, and excessive daydreaming.
Intersex Conditions
- Intersex refers to individuals born with sex characteristics that do not fit typical binary definitions of male or female; occurs in roughly 23/10,000 births.
- Causes can include chromosomal inconsistencies, hormonal imbalances, and various intersex disorders.
Causes of Intersex
- Chromosomal Inconsistencies: Variations in XY or XX chromosomes; can lead to developmental delays and potential learning disabilities.
- Hormonal Inconsistencies: Abnormal hormone signaling causing various disorders; signs include changes in weight, sex drive, and acne.
Types of Hormonal Conditions
- Adrenogenital Syndrome (AGS): Excess androgens in XX fetuses leading to masculinized external appearance; can be managed with cortisol treatment post-birth.
- Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS): Chromosomally male individuals with female physical features; develop female characteristics at puberty and identify as female.
- Fetally Androgenized Females: XX females exposed to androgens leading to ambiguous genitalia at birth; often undergo surgery but may reject female identity.
- DHT-Lacking Males: XY males unable to produce DHT; initially appear female but transition to male identity during puberty.
Primary vs. Secondary Sex Characteristics
- Primary Sex Characteristics: Sexual organs present at birth.
- Secondary Sex Characteristics: Develop during puberty, influenced by hormones; differences vary in timing and manifestation between genders.
Nature vs. Nurture Debate
- Discusses the extent to which behavior is influenced by genetics (nature) or environmental factors (nurture).
