Caregiver Preview: Contraception Literacy #rethinksexed #sexed #contraception #birthcontrol
Contraception literacy is a human right. It is essential that people learn about birth control options before they become sexually active. “Teens whose parents talk with them about sex, birth control, preventing STIs, and pregnancy are more likely to wait to have sex, use condoms when they do have sex, and avoid unintended pregnancy. Some parents think that talking about sex, birth control, or condoms means that they’re giving their teen permission to have sex as soon as possible. This isn’t true” (Planned Parenthood website) and research shows, over and over, that when young people receive comprehensive sexual health education, rates of unwanted pregnancy go down.
