Meyers, PhD, Professor, Illinois State University Promoting Youth Sexual Health provides a broad, ecological accounting of more recent literature on promoting sexual health for young people in America. For the youth development professional beginning a career or education related to sexual health promotion (or just discovering sexual health is part of their work), the book provides a good overview, case study examples and resources. A good primer on the topic.-Christopher M.
