Select Comprehensive Sex Education Programs
Comprehensive sex education is the foundation by which young people learn to take personal responsibility for their sexual health. Research shows that young people who took comprehensive sex education are 50 percent less likely to experience unwanted pregnancy. Further, decades of research have identified dozens of programs that are effective in helping young people reduce their risk for pregnancy, HIV, and STDs. These evidence-based programs utilize strategies that include the provision of accurate, honest information about abstinence as well as contraception and can serve as the foundation for comprehensive sex education.
