Sex-ed program may get adolescents to delay sex

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - After participating in a two-week sexual education program designed and implemented by an academic medical center, more middle-school students said they would hold off on having sex for the first time, Texas researchers report.

"Involvement by the medical profession can assure medically correct content, appropriate research outcomes, and enhanced quality of medical information in this important area of adolescent health," Dr. Patricia J. Sulak of the Texas A&M University System Health Science Center College of Medicine in Temple and colleagues note in a report.

School officials in Temple had approached health care professionals at the medical school for assistance in developing a sex education program for sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders. Parents and school officials wanted to emphasize postponing sexual activity, so the program focused in consequences of teen sex, as well as "skill building, character building, and refusal skills," Sulak and her team point out in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology. Students who were considering having sex were "encouraged" to meet with a health care professional.

A total of 26,125 students completed surveys before the program, while 24,550 filled out identical surveys afterwards. Students in all grades showed an improvement in their knowledge, on average, after the course.

Before the sex ed program, 84 percent of students said they would delay having sex until after high school. This figure rose to nearly 87 percent after the program.

The biggest effect was seen in the percentage of kids who said they wouldn't have sex until after marriage; before the program, about 60 percent said they planned to remain virgins until they married, while nearly 71 percent said they would after the program.

Other factors associated with planning to delay sex included attending religious services and watching two hours or less of television on school nights. Students whose original parents were still married were also more likely to report that they would wait to have sex.

Students who rated themselves as "less than C" students were more likely to think that teens should "have sex whenever they want," and also fared worse on knowledge tests after the program.

Kids who start having sex earlier are at greater risk of sexually transmitted disease and pregnancy, Sulak and her colleagues note. "By placing medical emphasis on risk avoidance and primary prevention of disease," they conclude, "encouraging adolescents to delay sexual onset can lead to significant health benefits."

 

Key senators unveil bill to bolster drug safety

WASHINGTON - Drug makers could face fines if they fail to complete post-approval studies or otherwise violate safety monitoring plans for recently approved medicines under legislation proposed by two key senators.

Republican Sen. Mike Enzi and Democratic Sen. Edward Kennedy hope to introduce a final version of the bill before Congress adjourns in August for a summer recess, an Enzi spokesman said on Wednesday. Enzi of Wyoming chairs the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, and Kennedy of Massachusetts is the panel's leading Democrat. The legislation is meant to strengthen the Food and Drug Administration's oversight of the safety of medicines after they reach the market.

The FDA was widely criticized for its handling of Merck & Co Inc.'s withdrawn arthritis pill Vioxx, pulled after it was linked to heart attacks and strokes, and other widely used drugs. "FDA has post-approval authorities now, but they are not always the ideal tools to do what is needed," a summary of the bill said.

A draft version calls for drug makers and the FDA, prior to a drug's approval, to set strategies to manage risks once the product reaches the market. The bill creates a dispute resolution process with deadlines if the parties fail to agree on a plan. Once the plan is in place, the FDA could fine companies that knowingly violate the safety-monitoring plan. Penalties would range from $15,000 to $250,000 per violation. Drug makers would need to meet with the FDA at least once a year during the first three years a drug is on the market to review the plans, the bill summary said.

The measure also would require companies to publish results from late-stage and post-approval studies in a public database, as well as list earlier trials. Drugs that have not had that information in the databases could not be reviewed by the FDA.

The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America declined to comment on specific provisions until the bill is introduced. Ken Johnson, a spokesman for the industry group, said prescription drugs already were "subject to rigorous safety and effectiveness reviews" by the FDA.

Enzi and Kennedy's proposal differs from an approach favored by Senate Finance Committee Chairman Charles Grassley, an Iowa Republican, who wants to establish a drug-safety office that is independent from the FDA office that approves drugs for sale.
