Question
Which of the following statements about contraceptive use in adolescence is true?Group of answer choicesAdolescent contraceptive use has decreased in recent years.About 14 percent of sexually active U.S. teenagers do not use contraception consistently.Even teenagers who report talking openly with their parents about sex are unlikely to use birth control.School sex education classes prevent teenagers from having unprotected sex.
Solution
The statement "About 14 percent of sexually active U.S. teenagers do not use contraception consistently" is true. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, while contraceptive use among teenagers has increased over the years, there is still a significant percentage that does not use contraception consistently. The other statements are either false or not universally true. For example, open communication with parents about sex can actually increase the likelihood of a teenager using birth control. Similarly, while school sex education classes can provide information and resources about safe sex, they do not necessarily prevent teenagers from having unprotected sex.
