I am planning to edit the "Sex Education in India" article to include a more comprehensive analysis of different types of sex education - for adolescents, family planning for adults, and HIV/AIDS prevention education. Below is a preliminary list of sources I plan to use:

Jha, Prabhat, Rajesh Kumar, Priya Vasa, Neeraj Dhingra, Deva Thiruchelvam, and Rahim Moineddin. "Low male-to-female sex ratio of children born in India: national survey of 1· 1 million households." The Lancet 367, no. 9506 (2006): 211-218.

The authors use data from the Special Fertility and Mortality Survey to determine the reasons for the abysmal sex ratio in India. They find that prenatal determination and the selective abortion of females, especially among women who already have one or two girls, is the leading cause.

Newmann, S., P. Sarin, N. Kumarasamy, E. Amalraj, M. Rogers, P. Madhivanan, T. Flanigan et al. "Marriage, monogamy and HIV: a profile of HIV-infected women in south India." International journal of STD & AIDS 11, no. 4 (2000): 250-253.

The authors study the prevalence of HIV/AIDS in south India and determine the demographics of women most at risk. The study determined that married, heterosexual women were most at risk because of their male partners.

Tripathi, Niharika, and T. V. Sekher. "Youth in India ready for sex education? Emerging evidence from national surveys." PloS one 8, no. 8 (2013): e71584.

The authors attempt to understand the expectations of youth for sex education. The found a disconnect between the proportion of youth who viewed sex education as important and those who actually received it.

Selvan, M. S., M. W. Ross, A. S. Kapadia, R. Mathai, and S. Hira. "Study of perceived norms, beliefs and intended sexual behaviour among higher secondary school students in India." AIDS care 13, no. 6 (2001): 779-788.

The authors study the sexual and condom behaviors among high school students in India and find that higher educated students tend to engage in less sex during their adolescent years.

Kartikeyan, S., and R. M. Chaturvedi. "Family planning: views of female non-acceptors in rural India." Journal of postgraduate medicine 41, no. 2 (1995): 37.

The authors conducted a study of rural women in India to determine why many women were unwilling to accept family planning methods. They found that many women were concerned about child survival rates and had inadequate information.
