Sexual Health in America: Improving Patient Care and Public Health

 

A Viewpoint was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). Sexual Health in America: Improving Patient Care and Public Health, written by former Surgeon General David Satcher, MD, PhD, Edward W. Hook III, MD, and Eli Coleman, PhD, says we can move toward solutions to sexual health challenges by embracing a comprehensive sexual health framework that looks toward the promotion of health and wellness rather than a narrow fixation on diseases. The new sexual health framework includes: an emphasis on wellness; focus on positive, respectful relationships; acknowledgement of the impact of sexual health on overall health; and an integrated approach to prevention.
