Australian Secondary Schools Survey Release with Professor Jennifer Power

In this impactful conversation, Professor Jennifer Power sits down with Winnie to share the latest findings from the 8th iteration of the Australian Secondary Students and Sexual Health (SSASH) Study, Australia’s most comprehensive national snapshot of young people’s sexual health, relationships and wellbeing. 

As the Lead Investigator of SSASH and Associate Professor at the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society (ARCSHS), Jennifer unpacks what the data reveals about current gaps and emerging trends, highlighting why evidence-based, inclusive and responsive approaches are critical to supporting young people.  

For more than three decades, SSASH has shaped how we understand and respond to young people’s sexual health, influencing policy, education, and sexual health promotion.
