What information are we giving teens about preventing disease and pregnancy?
In Nebraska, most high school students receive some form of sex education in school. Unfortunately, it appears many schools are only providing biased, unhelpful information to the teens in their care. There are some programs that only teach abstinence as the solution, leaving out valuable information about the need to be educated about and protected from disease and unwanted pregnancy by offering information about other birth control methods. Nationwide studies have shown "abstinence only" programs simply don't work. In 2005, we began surveying Nebraska high schools to learn what programs are being taught to our state's children. The survey also provided educational information for school superintendents about the failures of "abstinence only" programming. The survey is being done in cooperation with the Pro-Choice Coalition of Nebraska with our partner, Planned Parenthood.
