Outline of Final Research Achievements

After interview with adolescents and young adults with spina bifida and their family sexuality and reproductive health and rights, we conducted a questionnaire based on the results and investigated the actual state of that. The question items were included their physical and psychological changes in adolescent and sexuality and reproductive haalth. As a result, about 60% of adolescents and young adults had interest in sexuality and got an erection. Ejaculation was seen in about 50%, and sex experience was about 20%. In the family, about 70% parents responded that there was a future concern about their children's sexuality and reporoductive health, but about 30% didn't have what they wanted to know and tell.
