Questioning focused on identification of the major determinants of unwanted adolescent pregnancy and of effective countermeasures to reduce the importance of these determinants. On the basis of the Delphi panels and subsequent discussions with peer counselors, the research team made 3 major recommendations. 1st, it was suggested that school sex education programs could be improved by placing greater emphasis on women's needs, assertiveness training, and communication problems with males. The 2nd recommendation was for rap sessions where adolescents can discuss their questions about sex with parents of other teenagers (not their own parents) and where parents can hear the views of teenagers who are not their own children. The 3rd recommendation concerned contraceptive distribution and the development and marketing of a safe, effective nonprescription method acceptable to teenagers. Adolescents are currently denied access to a health care system oriented to their needs, perceptions, and time frames.","PeriodicalId":85303,"journal":{"name":"Population And Environmental Psychology Newsletter","volume":"5 1","pages":"20-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1980-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80407375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
