DescriptionKids and teens across the United States of America receive different versions of Sexual Health Education courses at school. But the wide range of topics, and often politically sensitive discussions required to get a full understanding of sexual health, prevents many students from getting all of their questions answered. Previous studies have shown that things like STI/STD rates and teen pregnancy percentages, are often much higher in areas with limited Sex Education, as opposed to areas where students receive a version of Sex Education that covers a vast amount of topics. The one commonality amongst these different areas of the country is that these students have access to, and are consistently using the internet to obtain information. In an effort to show the value of using the internet as a reliable resource for furthering and clarifying sexual health education, we utilized and advertised the website SexEtc.org as one of those reliable internet resources. We conducted interviews, using questions found on the website as guidance, to gauge just how much knowledge students had about these basic sexual health topics. We then reached out to the NTSA and My Central Jersey asking them to include these interviews in their newsletters that are accessed by thousands of people daily.
