Survey supports arguments to start sexuality education in Russia

Article Abstract:

Russia launched a sexuality education project in October 1996, after data gathered by the All-Russian Research Center of Public Opinion indicated that a majority of Russians were in favor of it. Surveys in 1993 and 1995 have shown that young Russians have increasingly become sexually active as a result of liberal attitudes towards sex in the mass media in the wake of perestroika. Findings reveal that sexual activity in teenagers can have effects on lifestyle, behavior and academic performance.
