Blog 18: 2-Hour Meeting Answer #3

1.  What is the best way to promote STD prevention in youth?

2.  The third answer to my essential question is that parents need to use the media to make connections between that and sex talks.
3.Three details to justify my third answer

• Not all children or teens feel comfortable talking to their parents about sex and STDs. 
• There needs to be something that makes them more open to talking about the subject. Like something that they like to watch, then the parent can make a connection between the two and start the conversation. 
• Build a good line of communication from early on. If parents are not open to talking about sex or STD protection wheb kids are young then the youth will be less likely to seek out the parents when they are older and have questions.
•  The parents may use the media if they feel more comfortable to start the conversation. But they need to let the youth lead the conversation. 

4.  My 40th research article "Kids Health" helped me prove my third answer.
5.  The next thing I plan to study is different techniques used to promote STD prevention in youth. I plan on doing this because teens can hear information about STDs but they need to be interested in it or hear it in an interesting way in order to actually learn from the information given to them.
