The following results had the most significant matter: 79% of the surveyed girls have not received any sex education from their parents, but 75% would like to able to talk about sex with them. It was also discovered that girls have misconceptions about certain contraceptive methods and negative connotations toward others; they associate condoms with promiscuity and sexual disease. A majority of girls (65%) consider the withdrawal method (coitus interruptus) to be effective, despite compelling evidence to the contrary. The misconceptions can be eliminated with effective communication between parents and daughters, as well as improved sex education.
