This document consists of two articles on sex education programs aimed at reducing sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and unintended pregnancies among American Indians. Both articles describe the problems of unwanted pregnancies and STDs, including acquired immune deficiency syndrome. During 1987, there were more than 3,000 live births to Native American girls ages 17 and younger. The first article describes how the use of over-the-counter spermicidal latex condoms helps prevent unwanted pregnancies, transmission of the AIDS virus, and other STDs. The article calls for more public education regarding the use of condoms and suggests condom dispensation by Indian Health Services. The second article discusses some of the negative outcomes of early sexual activity and suggests some strategies that Native American communities might find useful. One successful rural South Carolina sex education program is described. The article concludes that the South Carolina model can be adapted to Indian health service programs, given the proper interest and initiative. The two articles list about 40 references. (TES)
