Abstract

|
Objectives: This study was conducted to determine whether sex education in sexually experienced teens affects contraception.
Methods: The 14th and 17th Youth Health Behavior Survey was analyzed using original data on 6,042 teens from the first year of middle school to the third year of high school who had sexual experience. Chi-square analysis was performed to confirm the difference between the use of contraception and non-use of contraception, and multiple logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between the sex education variable as the independent variable and the contraception as the dependent variable.
Results: Teens without sex education used contraception 0.8 times than those with sex education, and particularly teens without sex education at 2nd year of middle school used contraception 0.5 times and those at high school used contraception 0.6 times. Also, teens without sex education used contraception 0.6 times when having sex after drinking alcohol.
Conclusion: This study confirmed that teens without sex education are less likely to use contraception, and in particular, we confirmed that sex education and contraceptive results differed by grade. Therefore, there is a need for sex education that can induce appropriate contraception for the reproductive health of teens.
