title: [Sexually active adolescents].
abstract: For today's teenagers, sex education has to go beyond simply handling out information. Young people are becoming sexually active at an earlier age than ever before. Nurses must therefore gear their teaching efforts to individual needs. The author looks at the factors that influence teenage sexual behavior and suggests support in the areas of health, contraception, interpersonal relations and values. The challenge is to arouse teenagers' sense of responsibility.
