Unprotected sexual behavior among adolescents is a major public health concern because it can lead to HIV/AIDS, other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and unwanted pregnancies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a sex education program, provided by Pregnancy Center of Middle Tennessee, on adolescents' knowledge of STIs, teen pregnancy and assessment of adolescent's risky sexual behavior in Maury County schools.
