Impact of exposure to school-based and parental sexuality education on adolescent sexuality and pregnancy.
Dowell, Kathleen Ann.

Impact of exposure to school-based and parental sexuality education on adolescent sexuality and pregnancy. - 229 p.

Director: Marvin B. Mandell.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Maryland Baltimore County, 2001.

While recent declines in adolescent sexual activity and rates of adolescent pregnancy and childbearing bode well for the U.S., continuation of these trends is not assured. Therefore, political leaders, community activists, parents, and others concerned with adolescent health issues continue to place high priority on reducing sexual activity among adolescents, thereby reducing unplanned pregnancy and childbearing among this population. One of the primary prevention strategies for addressing teen pregnancy is school-based sexuality education. In addition to schools, parents can also be important sources of education and information about reproductive health for children and adolescents. Past research has provided conflicting findings regarding the efficacy of both school-based and parental sexuality education, leaving parents and others confused about the impact of such education.

Therefore, political leaders, community activists, parents, and others concerned with adolescent health issues continue to place high priority on reducing sexual activity among adolescents, thereby reducing unplanned pregnancy and childbearing among this population. One of the primary prevention strategies for addressing teen pregnancy is school-based sexuality education.

520 $a This study examined the effect of school-based and parental sexuality education on timing of first sexual intercourse, use of contraceptives at first sexual intercourse, and timing of first pregnancy. Further, the study examined the extent to which these education strategies were effective for adolescents with varying degrees of risk for engaging in risky sexual behaviors and experiencing pregnancy during adolescence.
520 $a Based on data from the 1995 National Survey of Family Growth, multivariate analyses indicated that exposure to school-based sexuality education on birth control, STDs, or safe sex only was not associated with use of contraception at first intercourse, but education on these topics that also included discussion of abstinence was effective at increasing use of contraceptives, including condoms, at first intercourse. Parental sexuality education was related to increased use of contraceptives at first intercourse and later age of first pregnancy. Findings suggest that comprehensive sexuality education that includes abstinence as well as topics of birth control, STDs or safe sex are most effective at increasing the likelihood of contraceptive use. Parents play a significant role in delaying pregnancy and should be supported in their role as sexuality educators.
