'Parents Speak Up' National Campaign Encourages Parent-Child Communication About Sex
Date:6/5/2009

WASHINGTON, June 5 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Advertising can be an effective way to encourage parents to talk with their children about sex, according to a new study by researchers at The George Washington University and RTI International.

The study, published in the June issue of Journal of Adolescent Health, found that the "Parents Speak Up National Campaign," successfully encouraged parents to initiate conversations about sex with their children.

And after six months, both fathers and mothers who were exposed to the campaign were more likely to specifically recommend to their children to wait to become sexually active.
