Research suggests that comprehensive sex education programs, which include information on contraception and safe sex practices, are more effective in reducing the rates of unintended pregnancies and STIs among young people.

Experts recommend that sex education programs should be based on scientific evidence and tailored to the specific needs of young people in order to be effective.
