[CALIBK12] [CSLA Research Update] Sex education study

[Lesley Farmer]

Study: Abstinence programs have little effect on teen
behaviorComprehensive sex education does more to delay and reduce teen
sex than abstinence-only programs, according to a new study by the
nonpartisan National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned
Pregnancy. "At present there does not exist any strong evidence that
any abstinence program delays the initiation of sex, hastens the return
to abstinence or reduces the number of sexual partners," the study
concludes.Kirby, D. (2007). Emerging answers 2007. Washington, DC:
