Sexy TV and Teen Pregnancies

The Rand Corporation claims to have found a link between exposure to sexual content on television and teen pregnancies. An article from MSNBC claims, "teens exposed to high levels of sexual content on television were twice as likely to be involved in a pregnancy in the following three years as teens with limited exposure." Researchers interviewed 2003 teens by telephone during the year 2001, then followed up 1 to 3 years later. The article reports specific findings, questions, and TV shows. (November 3, 2008)
