If your child posts online references to sex on social networks such as Facebook, chances are that she is about to become sexually active, according to a study from the University of Wisconsin in Madison.
Dr. Megan Moreno and her colleagues studied the Facebook pages of 85 college freshman, surveying them about their sexual experiences and intentions. The research team found a strong association between posting sexual references online and becoming sexually active in real life.
"Facebook profiles may represent an innovative venue to identify adolescents considering sexual activity who may benefit from targeted prevention or education messages," according to this study presented at the Pediatric Academic Societies' annual meeting in Vancouver, Canada.
