Abstract

Using a web survey conducted with college age students, this research seeks to assess the needs of young adults and with our findings, advise lawmakers about the effectiveness of Michigan's sexual health education standards. While sexual health education is a subject that has been debated politically and culturally, the scientific community has found in other US states, as well as other countries, that abstinence only education is not effective, the proposed research would add evidence to those claims, more specifically in the state of Michigan.
