For Our Children: The French Origins of Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health Treatises, is an examination of the early twentieth-century development of health education for adolescents. Dr. Alfred Fournier, a leading French physician, argued that his clinical research on syphilitic patients demonstrated the contagiousness and the incurability of venereal disease. His response, in addition to continuing scientific study, was to communicate the significance of this health threat to medical practitioners and the general public alike. With a new prevention-oriented organization, The French Society for Sanitary and Moral Prophylaxis, Fournier supervised the publication of treatises that explained syphilis and gonorrhea, as well as their consequences, to young men and women. These pamphlets, For Our Sons and For Our Daughters, were translated and distributed around the world. The value of these sources of sexual and reproductive health information to contemporary readers is demonstrated by the international reach and the eventual commercialization of this genre. The implications of access to sexual and reproductive health information for adolescents was both social and scientific, and those who addressed these concerns in the early twentieth century found audiences across the globe.
