Sex Ed
Teen pregnancy rates are at historic lows in Kentucky and across the United States, following dramatic declines. And the vast majority of sexually experienced female teenagers report using a contraceptive method—although not always a highly effective method.
These are great achievements, and we should celebrate them. But we still have a lot of work to do to ensure teens are receiving the essential sex education they need to become sexually healthy adults.
