General Advice for Researchers
To gain general background knowledge on this issue, begin by education yourself on the differences between abstinence-only and comprehensive sex education.
Information on Comprehensive Sex Education:
“Comprehensive Sex Education.” Advocates for Youth. 4 April 2006. Advocates for Youth Organization. 1 April 2006. .
This site is crucial to pro-comprehensive sex education research. It provides many links to important sites that demonstrate the need for a federally funded comprehensive sex education program, and has much factual evidence that supports this conclusion.
Information on Abstinence-Only Sex Education:
“Abstinence.” Issues in Brief. 2006. The Heritage Foundation. 1 April 2006. .
This site demonstrates the other side of the sex education argument. It is biased, because The Heritage Foundation is an arch-conservative group that is subtly religiously affiliated. However, it is an important tool that provides insight into the conservative argument for abstinence-only sex education.
