Abstract
School sexuality education programs have been studied as a means to prevent sexual behavior that puts adolescents at risk for incurring an unwanted pregnancy or a sexually transmitted disease. This review examines and critiques research that measures effects of school sexuality education programs on the sexual risk-taking behavior of adolescents. First, methodological problems common in the literature are discussed. Second, studies measuring effects of school sexuality education programs are examined. Finally, suggestions for future research are made.Keywords: Adolescent Pregnancy; Adolescents; Age Factors; Americas; Behavior; Demographic Factors; Developed Countries; Diseases; Education; Fertility; Infections; Literature Review; North America; Northern America; Organization And Administration; Population; Population Characteristics; Population Dynamics; Programs; Reproductive Behavior; Reproductive Tract Infections; Risk Reduction Behavior; School-based Services; Sex Education; Sexually Transmitted Diseases--prevention and control; United States; Youth
