Guess what they show!! I'll give you three options:
AO works as well as contraceptive focused education.
AO works better than contraceptive focused education.
AO is a complete, abject failure as a technique to educate children about human sexuality resulting in higher rates of pregnancy and STDs and, arguably, onset of sexual activity.
Did I give it away?
No. You didn't. How about you pick one, and then present data showing that it's true.
I keep asking for this, and no one can seem to provide it. Show me a study showing that AO actually increased the rate of teen pregnancy and/or STD compared with other forms of sex education. Cause all I keep seeing are studies like the one's linked in this thread so far. Numbers comparing rates of success for virginity pledges, AO statistic which show no decrease (but no increase) in rates for those things, etc...
So. For the record. I'm going to go with option 1: "AO works as well as contraceptive focused education". So far, all the data I've seen supports this pick.
What's your pick Smash?
