The Effects of School Sex Education Programs: A Review of the Literature.
Kirby, Douglas
Journal of School Health, v50 n10 p559-563 Dec 1980

Such programs appear to have little effect on the amount of sexual behavior while increasing the use of contraceptive methods among sexually active students. (JN)
