When adolescents delay (meaning they wait until after middle school) engaging in sexual intercourse, they use condoms at higher rates and have fewer sexual partners than those who have sex earlier, thus resulting in a lower risk for unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. The 1996 Section 510 of Title V of the Social Security Act (often referred to as A-H) is a policy that promotes abstinence-only-until-marriage education (AOE) within public schools. Using Stone's (2012) policy analysis framework, this article explores how A-H limits welfare, liberty, and security among adolescents due to the poor empirical outcomes of AOE policy. We recommend incorporating theory-informed comprehensive sex education in addition to theory-informed abstinence education that utilizes Fishbein and Ajzen's (2010) reasoned action model within schools in order to begin to address adolescent welfare, liberty, and security.
当青少年推迟性行为（即等到中学毕业后）时，他们使用避孕套的比例更高，性伴侣也比更早发生性行为的青少年更少，因此意外怀孕和性传播感染的风险更低。1996年《社会保障法》第五章第510节（通常称为A-H）是一项在公立学校推广仅禁欲直到结婚教育（AOE）的政策。本文运用斯通（2012年）的政策分析框架，探讨A-H政策如何因AOE政策糟糕的实证结果而限制青少年的福利、自由和安全。我们建议在学校中除了运用菲什拜因和阿杰恩（2010年）的理性行动模型进行基于理论的禁欲教育外，还应纳入基于理论的全面性教育，以便开始解决青少年的福利、自由和安全问题。
