“…Arguably, teenagers targeted in these interventions are more comparable to our sample than the Currie and Moretti (2003) sample. Several meta-analyses synthesizing the results from both randomized controlled trials and observational studies suggest that these interventions have a limited impact on adolescent behavior regarding sexual intercourse, birth control, and pregnancy (DiCenso, Griffith 2002, Bennett andAssefi 2005).…”

This paper uses age-at-school-entry policies to identify the effect of female education on fertility and infant health. We focus on sharp contrasts in schooling, fertility, and infant health between women born just before and after the school entry date. School entry policies affect female education and the quality of a woman's mate and have generally small, but possibly heterogeneous, effects on fertility and infant health. We argue that school entry policies manipulate primarily the education of young women at risk of dropping out of school.

“…Despite what the public may have feared, comprehensive sex and HIV education programs do not increase teen sexual intercourse (Kirby, 2002). In fact, some of these programs have shown to decrease or delay sexual intercourse and increase condom or contraceptive use among sexually active teens (Bennett & Assefi, 2005). Currently, the middle schools use an abstinence-based program while the high school uses a comprehensive sexual education program (J. Salerno, personal communication, June 23, 2005).…”

“…For example, Karlson and Rapoff's [4] review of 40 randomized cognitive behavioral studies in pediatric populations published between 2002 and 2007 found that the mean attrition rate was 20% for initial follow-up and 32% for extended follow-up, with a range of 0%-54%. Bennett and Assifi's [5] systematic review of 19 abstinence-only and abstinence-plus interventions implemented between 1998 and 2001 yielded attrition rates ranging from a low of 2% to a high of 35%.…”

Internal and external validity are threatened when subjects fail to complete an intervention and when they are lost at follow-ups. Accordingly, researchers and intervention staff continually strive to identify predictors of attrition and non-compliance. The present study investigated the success of models that incorporate program, family, and individual characteristic variables in predicting treatment adherence and retention at six months in a sample of 1319 youth who participated in an abstinence-only intervention, as well as the relative importance of the predictors in explaining retention and adherence among Hispanic and non-Hispanic youth. The findings indicated that the likelihood of completing the intervention was greater for youths whose mothers or someone who functioned as a mother did not work. The effect of this predictor was consistent across all models in which it was tested. In addition, youth who planned to have sex were more likely to withdraw from the intervention than were youth for whom the opposite was true. Youth satisfaction with the intervention successfully predicted the likelihood of completion. Retention at six months was influenced by youth completing the intervention, having a non-working mother, and being satisfied with the program. Results from the discriminant analyses suggested that the predictors varied in importance for Hispanics and non-Hispanics. For Hispanics, having a non-working mother and satisfaction with the intervention were critical to their decisions to complete the intervention and to return for the six-month follow-up. For non-Hispanics, parental attitudes regarding sex, youths' intentions to have sex, and youths' gender were significant predictors.
