Young people all over the world are the most active users of digital technologies. Over 70% of the world’s youth aged 15-24 are online (International Telecommunications Union, 2018). This desk review examines the available evidence on the extent to which digital content can influence knowledge, attitudes and practices of adolescents and young people (aged 10–24 years), and looks at the potential for digital spaces to be used to add value to the delivery of comprehensive sexuality education (CSE).
