February 5, 2010 – From TownHall.com – Abstinence-only sex education has been a favorite target of the cultural elite, who argued it was naive at best and dangerous at worst. Now, a new study published in the Archives of Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine suggests that encouraging young teens to just say no to sex may be the most effective method at delaying early sexual activity.
February 3, 2010 – From The Washington Post – Sex education classes that focus on encouraging children to remain abstinent can persuade a significant proportion to delay sexual activity, researchers reported Monday in a landmark study that could have major implications for U.S. efforts to protect young people against unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.
February 2, 2010 – From Los Angeles Times – A new study shows for the first time that a sex education class emphasizing abstinence only – ignoring moral implications of sexual activity – can reduce sexual activity by nearly a third in 12- and 13-year-olds compared with students who received no sex education.
February 2, 2010 – From The Christian Science Monitor – The study found that abstinence-only sex education programs showed relative success in dissuading 12 year olds from having sex for two years afterward. It is the most comprehensive study to date to bolster an abstinence-only approach to reducing teen pregnancy.
February 2, 2010 – From The New York Times – A study of middle-school students that found for the first time that abstinence-only education helped to delay their sexual initiation is already beginning to shake up the longstanding debate over how best to prevent teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
