School‑based sex education is a key source of information, yet programs vary widely in content, ranging from abstinence‑only to comprehensive approaches that include contraception and STI prevention. Using data from the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth, this study examined whether differences in formal sex education were associated with contraceptive use at coital debut among female adolescents, and whether education type related to high‑risk sexual behavior, measured by history of STI treatment. Logistic regression analyses evaluated associations while accounting for demographic and behavioral factors. 000000384 540__ $$fCC BY 000000384 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000384 650__ $$aContraception$$017054 000000384 650__ $$aCoitus$$016872 000000384 650__ $$aSafe Sex$$032900 000000384 650__ $$aAdolescent$$014285 000000384 650__ $$aPregnancy, Unplanned$$036169 000000384 650__ $$aContraceptive Agents$$017057 000000384 650__ $$aSexually Transmitted Diseases$$025937 000000384 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000384 692__ $$aDepartment of Public Health and Preventive Medicine$$041444 000000384 7001_ $$aIsley, Michelle$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000384 8564_ $$97488ea7f-1e63-4152-be5b-ed2e65f507ab$$s351853$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/384/files/385_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$238c5948d006287401998f3561186c24a$$31 000000384 905__ $$a/rest/prod/wh/24/6s/16/wh246s16c 000000384 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:384$$pstudent-work 000000384 956__ $$aGet Accessible Copy$$uhttps://ohsu.libwizard.com/f/requestaccessibledocument 000000384 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
