What is this Indicator?
This indicator shows the percentage of 14 to 17-year-olds who have never had sexual intercourse.
Why this is important: Compared to older adults, adolescents are at higher risk for acquiring sexually transmitted diseases for a number of reasons, including limited access to preventive and regular health care and physiologically increased susceptibility to infection. Approximately one in four sexually active teens contracts an STD every year. Additionally, sexual activity can result in unplanned pregnancy, an outcome for which most teens are physically, emotionally, and financially unprepared.
The Healthy People 2010 national health target is to increase the proportion of adolescents aged 17 years and younger who have never had sexual intercourse to 75%.
Technical note: The distribution is based on data from 44 California counties and county groups. |
