Note to Readers
This summary is based on the seven-chapter publication, 14 and Younger: The Sexual Behavior of Young Adolescents. The full report contains seven papers based on six different data sets -- three national and three local -- presenting new analyses from seven teams of investigators. The complete publication, which also includes this summary, can be purchased through the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy's website, www.teenpregnancy.org.

While most adults prefer that teens under age 18 not have sex, consensus is even stronger for “middle school” youth -- those age 14 and younger (Moore & Stief, 1991). There is good reason to be especially concerned about sexual activity among these very young adolescents.
