Drinking (p‹0.01), having girlfriends and sexual-intercourse experiences (p<0.05). After six weeks, the average score of reproductive health responsibility in the experimental group increased with higher average score than that of the control group (p<0.001). It was also in line with a qualitative conclusion from the focus group. It was concluded that the male and female students were more reciprocal about the opinion, attitude and behavior.
