Boys: half the solution.

摘要

In 1999, the government established the Teenage Pregnancy Strategy, a 10-year national strategy with the aim to halve the rate of teenage conceptions among under-18s and establish a downward trend among under-16s by 2010.1 It stated that boys and young men were 'half of the problem and of the solution', and stressed that they needed to be targeted.Primary care trusts (PCTs) have set up local initiatives in order to encourage boys and young men to attend sexual health services, and sexual health advisors and school nurses have been considering ways of engaging them during sex and relationship education (SRE).
