Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Utterly shocking but true, one in four teens has an STD. It is essential that children are fully educated about STDs so that they can make wise decisions about their own health and future. This collection of essays explores many aspects of sexually transmitted diseases. Across three chapters, readers will evaluate what contributes to the spread of STDs, what education programs address the spread of STDs, and whether government regulation would reduce infection rates. Do virginity pledges work? Does binge drinking increase a woman’s risk of contracting an STD? Would mandatory testing reduce infection rates? Give your readers a book that answers these questions and more for them.
