There is voluminous research concerned with what young people know about fertility. Fertility awareness refers to knowledge about reproduction, fecundity, fecundability, risk factors for reduced fertility and societal and cultural factors affecting options to meet parenthood goals.
Applying academic standards to knowledge levels suggests that adolescents (16–18 years) and emerging adults (21–24 years) know less than they should about important fertility topics. The aim of the Fertility Education Initiative is to develop resources to support increased awareness of fertility and reproductive issues in young people, including resources for educators.
