Abstract

Investigates the current attitudes and behaviour of young women [aged 16-18] towards formal sex education and informal sources of sexual health advice. Results found that participants in the study viewed the delivery of sex education as outdated and often ineffective. The study concludes that young women regard sexual intercourse as a normal activity for adolescents. It suggests that those responsible for delivering sex education should listen to the ideas and views of young people when planning and delivering their programmes.
