In this regard, the present study aimed to evaluate the REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH PEER EDUCATION Program based on the opinion of university students.Methods: This interventional study was conducted in Qazvin University of Medical Sciences through the PEER EDUCATION method. The participants of this study were 24 peer educators who received training in a 40 hour peer educator training course. The PEER EDUCATION program was implemented in the university. In order to evaluate this community- based intervention, 329 students were selected through the stratified sampling method and their opinion was assessed. Descriptive statistical methods were used by SPSS software for data analysis.Results: The results of the study revealed that PEER EDUCATION was accepted by 64.7% (n=213) of the students, according to their opinion. The educational priorities of the students were as follows: pre-marriage counseling (78%, n=166); STI/AIDS (17%, n=36); and contraception (5%, n=11).The PEER EDUCATION program was recognized as the most required REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH service in the university by 55.3% (n=118) of the students. They believed that the most important duties of the peer educators were: education (33.5%, n=71); counseling (30.4%, n=65); referring to a counseling center (21.6%, n=46) and referring to a therapeutic center (14.5%, n=31). Also, the students stated that confidentiality (53%, n=113), suitable communication (26%, n=55) and sufficient knowledge (21%, n=45) were desired characteristics for the peer educators.Conclusion: According to the students' opinion, PEER EDUCATION could provide suitable REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH services and could also be beneficial for REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH promotion and might reinforce positive behaviors in YOUTHs.
