Isi artikel

In recent decades, various attempts have been made ot determine the level of sexual activity among adolescents. This information has been used in the planning and evaluation of sex - related progrmas. However, there is a flaw in using only the intial estimates of the behaviour - that a sexually active person is defined as one who has had sexual intercourse. This narrow definition distorts the perception of adolescent sexual behaviour. Sexual activity can more accurately be designated by focusing on the actual frequency with which teenagers have sex. In this research report, adolescents were considered sexually active if they had had sex within the last four weeks. Using this definition, adolescents were found to be substantially less sexually active than has been previously reported. This finding was then used to look at various policy decisions in the areas of sex education, family planning and sexually transmitted disease prevention.
