An interesting study had the result that every third heterosexually active US-adolescent male (15 to 20 years old) is not taught in school how to use a condom: Jaramillo et al. (2017): Associations Between Sex Education and Contraceptive Use Among Heterosexually Active, Adolescent Males in the United States. Journal of Adolescent Health, 60 (2017) 534e540 "Methods: Cross-sectional data from 539 males participating in the 2011e2013 National Survey of Family Growth were analyzed. Bivariate and multinomial logistic regression analyses adjusting for confounding estimated associations between receipt of seven sex education topics (e.g., information on HIV/AIDS, how to say no to sex) and contraceptive use at the last sex (i.e., dual barrier and female-controlled effective methods, female-controlled effective method only, barrier method only, and no method). Results: Nearly, all participants (99%) reported receiving sex education on at least one topic. Education on sexually transmitted diseases (94.7%) and HIV/AIDS (92.0%) were the most commonly reported topics received; education on where to get birth control was the least common (41.6%). Instruction about birth control methods (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] ¼ 3.01; 95% confidence interval [CI] ¼ 1.32e6.87) and how to say no to sex (AOR ¼ 3.39; CI ¼ 1.33e8.64) were positively associated with dual contraception compared to no use. For each additional sex education topic respondents were exposed to, their odds of using dual methods compared to no method was 47% greater (AOR ¼ 1.47; CI ¼ 1.16e1.86)." 95 %: "Taught about sexually transmitted diseases" 92 %: "Taught about HIV/AIDS" 88 %: "Taught how to say no to sex" 75 %: "Educated on waiting until marriage" 65 %: "Taught how to use a condom" 56 %: "Taught about methods of birth control" 42 %: "Taught about where to get birth control" |
