Title :Some Success Seen in Abstinence Program
An experimental abstinence-only program can delay teens from having sex. This involved assignments to help 6 and 7th graders to see drawbacks to sexual activity at their age. The students were assigned to one of four options: eight hour-long abstinence-only classes, classes incorporationg both approaches; or classes in general healthy behavior. Two years later they met with the kids again, about one-third of abstinence-only students said they'd had sex since the classes ended. Evidnece shows that abstinence classes don't work.
Reflection-
I thought that those classes did work, even though it didn't work for eveyone, there were some kids that did get something from those classes. But i feel like some kids were forced to be in that class and thats why they didn't really listen to what they learned.
Evidence-
*"No public policy should be based on the results of one study, nor should policy makers selectively use scientific literature to formulate a policy that meets preconceived ideologies," said the editorial by Dr. Frederick Rivara, the journal's editor, and Dr. Alain Joffe, an associate editor.
