Sex Education Models

The idea
US sex education follows three models: abstinence-only, abstinence-plus, which adds contraception information, and comprehensive, covering development, relationships, consent and identity.
In practice
A review of three decades of research by Goldfarb and Lieberman linking comprehensive programmes to fewer births and infections.
Where people slip
The course reports the review's findings and describes the models; it takes no position on curriculum policy.
