Troccoli, K., (2006). Terms of Engagement: How to Involve Parents in Programs to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. Washington, DC: National Campaign
to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. Author states that teens who are closely connected to their parents are more likely to delay sexual activity, have lower rates of sexual activity overall, have lower rates of sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy and childbearing; and to have higher rates of contraceptive use than their peers who are not as closely connected to their parents. Few reviews of teen pregnancy prevention programs have focused on parental involvement.
