Researchers enrolled over 500 parents of teenagers in eight weekly sessions of a program called "Talking with Your Teens about Tough Issues." Participants reported that after taking the course - which was presented at their places of work - they became more comfortable initiating difficult discussions with their teens about sexual issues.
Some experts believe that teaching parents to educate their teens about such matters might work better than having the public schools do it, partly because there is so much disagreement about whether to use abstinence-only programs.
