Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research on adolescent sexuality in the United States reveals that roughly half of teens are sexually active before they graduate from high school. This is supported by data from the 2015 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System, which found that about 41% of high school students had ever had sexual intercourse. Data also indicates that adolescent sexual activity has not decreased significantly since the 1950s. While there has been a decline in adolescent pregnancy rates over time, it is still a significant issue in the United States. The number of teens reporting multiple sexual partners has not declined and remains a risk factor for sexually transmitted infections. There are differences in sexual experience across ethnic groups, with some ethnic groups reporting higher rates of sexual activity and/or earlier sexual initiation.
