This survey assessed rural parents' (n = 374) perceptions of the characteristics, content, and comfort level of discussions about sexual issues with their teens. Almost all parents (94%) reported they had talked with their teens about sex. Two-thirds (65%) reported being comfortable talking with their teens about sexual issues. From a list of 17 potential topical areas in sexual communication, parents were most likely to discuss with their teens the responsibilities of being a parent (46%), sexually transmitted diseases (40%), dating behavior (37%), and not having sex until marriage (36%). Most parents (80%) believed that the majority of sexuality education should be provided by the family and supplemented by outside organizations, preferably schools. Almost all parents (92%) believed sexuality education should include information on birth control methods including condoms. Almost two of three parents (64%) believed schools should begin teaching sexuality education before students reach seventh grade. Parents (52%) claimed they could best be helped in communicating with their teens by receiving a regular newsletter regarding teen sexual issues.
这项调查评估了农村家长（n = 374）对与青少年讨论性问题的特点、内容和舒适度的看法。几乎所有家长（94%）报告称他们曾与青少年谈论过性。三分之二（65%）的家长表示与青少年谈论性问题时感到自在。在性沟通的17个潜在主题领域中，家长最有可能与青少年讨论为人父母的责任（46%）、性传播疾病（40%）、约会行为（37%）以及婚前禁欲（36%）。大多数家长（80%）认为大部分性教育应由家庭提供，并由外部组织（最好是学校）加以补充。几乎所有家长（92%）认为性教育应包括关于避孕方法（包括避孕套）的信息。近三分之二的家长（64%）认为学校应在学生进入七年级之前开始教授性教育。家长们（52%）声称，定期收到有关青少年性问题的时事通讯最有助于他们与青少年进行沟通。
