Sexuality education has been proffered as a partial solution to a variety of adolescent sexual problems. Research demonstrates that programs increase knowledge, but have little direct impact on values and attitudes, actual sexual behavior, use of birth control, and teen-age pregnancy. This article compares the effects of sexuality education programs with the results of other educational programs and discusses why sex education programs may increase knowledge, but may not effectively change behavior. Finally, good reasons to offer sexuality education are discussed.
性教育已被视为解决各种青少年性问题的部分方案。研究表明，相关课程能增加知识，但对价值观和态度、实际性行为、避孕措施的使用以及青少年怀孕几乎没有直接影响。本文比较了性教育课程与其他教育课程的效果，并探讨了为何性教育课程可能增加知识，但未必能有效改变行为。最后，还讨论了开展性教育的充分理由。
