In 2016, in response to concern about the impact of pornography on adolescents, the Boston
Public Health Commission partnered with a university researcher to develop a nine-session
media literacy curriculum on pornography for adolescents. The curriculum was pilot-tested
with five small classes of adolescents between 2016 and 2019 (n= 31). Many adult teachers
of sex education also expressed interest in being trained to use the curriculum, so our team
has now trained 300 adults to use it.
