- Abstinence from sexual intercourse is the most effective way to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.
- Children and teens need be given the tools to set goals and achieve them.
- Children and teens need be supported in an environment where they feel comfortable discussing topics of sexuality with an informed adult.
