Teens aren’t receiving enough sex education, study says

During both periods, only about half of the teens received sex education that meets minimum federal standards. In 2019, 84 percent of respondents said they had been educated about how to say no to sex, but only 68 percent said they had had education about birth control methods. Just 52 percent had been educated on where to get birth control, and 59 percent had received instruction in condom skills. Birth control education fell by about 20 percent since the 1990s.
