Abstract

This paper reports on the findings of a pre-post and follow-up evaluation of a sexual health promotion programme in Ireland. Substantial progress in skills, knowledge, confidence and comfort were reported by participants which were to a large extent maintained over time. Evidence emerged of the successful translation of learning into practice in a number of areas, including engaging proactively with service users about sexual health and developing educational programmes and materials. The paper highlights contextual factors that support and inhibit sustainable changes to practice that need to be addressed in order to maximise the impact of capacity building education.
