This study evaluated the integration of Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) across selected junior high school learning areas and its association with teachers' perceptions of learners' self-efficacy in decision-making. Using a descriptive-comparative cross-sectional design, the study included 119 teacher respondents from Kapalong East, Davao del Norte. Data were gathered through a researcher-made survey questionnaire and analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and One-Way ANOVA. Findings revealed that the overall extent of CSE integration was moderately extensive, with MAPEH showing the highest level of integration, followed by Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao and Araling Panlipunan. Learners' self-efficacy in decision-making was also rated moderately extensive, with the application of CSE knowledge in real-life situations receiving the highest rating, while confidence in applying learning remained the lowest. ANOVA results indicated no significant difference in learners' perceived self-efficacy across learning areas. The study concludes that CSE integration supports learners' decision-making capacity but requires stronger instructional consistency, teacher training, and culturally responsive strategies. These results may effectively guide localized curriculum review and future school-based capacity-building initiatives.
