Summary

The most effective way to prevent pregnancy — other than not having sex — is to use hormonal birth control or an intrauterine device (IUD) in addition to a condom. But many sexually active adolescent girls didn’t use hormonal birth control or an IUD the last time they had sex. Evidence shows that a variety of programs that teach adolescents about the effects of unprotected sex can help increase effective birth control use.
