Question 2

Design a prevention program aimed at preventing teenage premarital sex for high school students.

Accepted Answer

Since rates of premarital sex are lower among teens who involved in extra-curricular activities such as sports, I would design a survey to see what students wanted for after school programs and work to get those programs into the school. I would especially solicit feedback from students considered most at-risk such as those who come from poor families or who are doing poorly in school. Also students with high grades also tend to abstain from early sexual relations so I would also have after school tutoring available to any student who needed it. I would have parent meetings to inform parents that monitoring what their children are doing and creating rules that are realistic can help to prevent early sex. I would also tell them that those who have sex early are at risk for early marriage, dropping out of school, poverty, and other issues of teen parenting.
