Fear Versus Norm Appeals In Abstinence-centered Sex Education

Mehr zum Buch

The ongoing debate over the most effective educational approaches for teaching youth about sexual health highlights a divide in opinions on abstinence versus condom use. Research indicates that while many adults and teens support abstinence messages until after high school, there is no consensus on the effectiveness of such programs in delaying sexual activity. Additionally, the lack of rigorous studies on programs aimed at postponing sexual involvement complicates the discussion, leaving critical questions about the best strategies for educating teens on sexual behavior and health.
