Objective To investigate and evaluate the effect of a 3-month new media education on sexual and reproductive health. Methods Five hundred and fifty-nine female students in the 2019 class of nursing in a higher vocational college in Tai’an

Shandong Province

were randomly selected as the survey subjects

and the health education intervention was conducted using the online platforms and We Chat

supplemented with interactive information exchange and counseling services. A questionnaire survey was conducted on the survey subjects before and after the intervention. Results Before the intervention

the knowledge rate of the two topics related to the transmission route of AIDS was higher than 85.00%. The overall knowledge rate of the remaining topics on pregnancy

contraception

abortion

and sexually transmitted diseases prevention was 47.26%（5 020/10 621）. In terms of sexual reproductive health attitudes

60.43% of the respondents living in rural areas chose to "refuse premarital sex"

which was higher than those living in urban areas（48.07%）

and the difference was statistically significant（P<0.05）. In terms of sexual and reproductive health behavior

only 26.12% of the respondents could calculate the safe period

and only 38.28% of the respondents could use condoms. After the intervention

the knowledge rate and positive attitudes/behaviors of the survey respondents about sexual and reproductive health increased or improved compared with those before the intervention

and all differences were statistically significant（P<0.05）. Conclusion The use of new media such as online platforms and We Chat to carry out sexual and reproductive health education is more effective and worthy of vigorous promotion.
