Particularly strong were the results of the analyses on the subsample reporting at the pretest that they had not yet had sex. Among these teenagers, the Loving Well students' beliefs after the program were more supportive of delayed sexual activity than were the control students' beliefs on seven of the questionnaire items. The findings above paint a picture of a program that successfully advances its articulated goals. Further, the program distinguishes itself by fitting easily into existing school structures and engaging both students and teachers. The program, which is very low in disruption and comparatively low in cost, has persisted in producing modest improvements in teenagers' beliefs and attitudes about delayed sexual activity.
Results strongly support a recommendation for wider implementation of the curriculum.
