[Medical and social studies of sex behavior of adolescents].
Due to economic and social causes, risky reproductive behavior of adolescents in modern Russia is characterized by a clear-cut tendency to an increasing discrepancy between physical, social, and psychological maturing of young people. The necessity of alteration of the sexual behavioral style of adolescents is dictated by necessity of retaining their reproductive health. Preventive educational programs can become one of the methods for attaining this purpose. However, a truly effective program determining the forms and methods of permissible effects on the adolescents can be developed only after profound studies of their knowledge in the sphere of sexual behavior. Such studies were carried out in 1994-1998 in Novosibirsk and its region by the Juventus Municipal Consultation and Diagnosis Center for Children and Adolescents. The detected tendencies are presented in the paper.
