Effectiveness of educational interventions on fertility protection awareness in university students

This article addresses the critically low awareness of fertility protection among university students a population at a pivotal stage for establishing reproductive health behaviors. It proposes a conceptual framework for the design and evaluation of educational interventions aimed at enhancing awareness in this group. The paper delineates core components of effective interventions, including content domains such as reproductive biology, lifestyle factors, and fertility preservation options, all underpinned by behavioral change theories. A quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test design with a control group is recommended for future empirical assessment, utilizing multidimensional metrics covering knowledge, attitudes, and behavioral intentions. The study highlights the theoretical and practical implications of such interventions for public health education and student wellness programs, while also addressing potential cultural, ethical, and logistical challenges. Recommendations are provided for implementing and adapting these strategies within higher education systems, with particular relevance to the contexts of Kazakhstan and Russia.
