Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most effective program based on the results from Canada, Germany, and France would be a mandatory, factual sexual education program that includes information on contraception and making it available for free to teens. This approach has been shown to decrease teen pregnancy rates and reduce the number of unplanned pregnancies overall. Abstinence-only education has not been shown to be effective, and banning school dances and discouraging teens from coupling up is an unrealistic and ineffective approach. Eliminating welfare, food programs, and healthcare for the poor is both unethical and unlikely to have a positive impact on the teen birthrate.
