Abstract
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) pose a significant public health concern in the United States. Adolescents and young adults ages 15 to 24 make up nearly half of all STI cases in the United States. STIs cause significant medical, social, and economic burdens. Measuring adolescent sexual behaviors, attitudes, and condom usage is challenging due to privacy concerns, social taboos, and ethical considerations. Comprehensive sex education typically emphasizes abstinence as one option but also includes information about contraception, STIs, consent, and communication. There is no standard form of sexual education in American schools.
