Despite the tremendous growth of family systems theory in recent years, sex education within a family systems context has received little attention. This study examined patterns of interaction within the family and the possible relationhsip of these patterns to the amount of sex education occuring in the home. Ninety - six adolescents (ages 13 -14, 43% male, 90% caucasian) and the parents of 63 of them (61 mothers and 45 fathers) completed three questionnaires : 1. FACES - II, a measure which categorizes family interactions as balance, mid range, or extreme based on the two dimensions of cohesiveness and adaptability 2. the parent - adolescent communication scale, and 3. the home discussion questionnaire, a measure of the amount of discussion about 17 sex education topics. Adolescents who reported open communication and satisfaction with family interactions reported significatly more sex education in the home. Although mothers' reports of sex education were not related to their perceptions of family communication or interactions, fathers who reported the healthiest family interactions also reported the most involvement in the sex education of their adolescent.
