Sex education's purpose is to facilitate healthy behaviors. Research suggests that sex education should focus on things that influence behavior among youth: life skills; self-efficacy; attitudes; beliefs; and social norms (Born, Wolvaardt, & Mcintosh, 2015). The purpose of this study is to learn where people are getting the majority of their sex education and how it is affecting these behaviors. We are still gathering data for this study. We predict the data will be skewed in Utah because of the high population of religious affiliation. We are interested to see the differences in behaviors based on sources of sex education.
