State policies decrease youth smoking, drinking and sex

s in a community would lead to a 1.3 percent reduction in unsafe sex among teens.

"It is clear from our study that broader legislation at the state and city levels contributes to helping youth decide not to engage in smoking, drinking and sexual intercourse. It is also interesting to note that, contrary to the thought that access to a family planning clinic increases sexual behavior, our study found the opposite--family planning clinics do not make kids have more sex," said Dr. Bishai.

The authors report in their study that further research is needed to examine the effects of state and local laws and to explore whether the societal factors that contribute to the passage of such state legislation are correlated with better parenting or healthier teen culture.
