Health professionals in Australia are asking teenagers to record their thoughts and views on anything to do with sex, as part of a nationwide project called 'The Sex Files'.
Explaining the motive of the study, Ajay Jain, district governor of Rotary Delhi, said,"In the pilot project, health checks were conducted on primary schoolchildren under the age of 11 at two MCD schools in Malviya Nagar. The project aims to convert MCD schoolchildren’s regular health cards into smart cards. We will be working together with the Health and Education departments of the MCD to ensure that computerised records of all children are available in the future for any healthcare needs. The medical history of every child will be on record for future reference."
