Sex education, USE OF “CONDOMS”!!!

According to the results of a survey of US adults aged 18 to 83 years published in the November issue of the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, Comprehensive sex education, teaching about prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and pregnancy through abstinence as well as other birth control methods, is preferred for public schools. This cross-sectional survey, part of the Annenberg National Health Communication Survey, was conducted from July 2005 through January 2006, using a randomly selected, nationally representative sample of 1096 US adults aged 18 to 83 years. Rates of completion of the survey ranged from 73% to 76%. Respondents were asked about their level of support for or opposition to 3 different types of sex education in schools: abstinence only, comprehensive sex education or "abstinence plus" (teaching about abstinence and other birth control methods to prevent pregnancy and STIs), and condom instruction. Public opinion on sex education in schools is, however, largely absent from discourse on this issue, as few studies report on what types of sex education the public supports.
Politically, 39.5% of the sample said they were moderate, 35.5% conservative, and 25% liberal. More than half of the sample attended church only a few times a year or less often. Approximately 82% of respondents indicated support for "abstinence plus" programs teaching students about both abstinence and other methods of preventing pregnancy and STIs; and 68.5% supported teaching how to properly use condoms. Abstinence-only education programs were supported by 36% and opposed by about 50% of respondents. Conservative, liberal, and moderate respondents all supported abstinence-plus programs, although the extent of support varied significantly. Condom instruction was also supported by more than half of all respondents grouped by religious service attendance, except in those who attended services more than once a week (37.9%), opposition to condom instruction was 52.6%. US adults, regardless of political ideology, favor a more balanced approach to sex education compared with the abstinence-only programs funded by the federal government.
