What Does the Research Say about Sexuality Education?
Kirby, Douglas
Educational Leadership, v58 n2 p72-76 Oct 2000

Evaluations of 30 abstinence-plus programs for sexuality and HIV education show these programs do not increase adolescent sexual intercourse. Common curriculum characteristics are outlined. (Contains 18 references.) (MLH)
