Abstract

This study explores how exposure and timing of sexual education predicts sexual and reproductive health outcomes of 5,141 young women ages 15-20 years across sexual orientation. Sexual minority women were more likely to receive sexual education after already engaging in intercourse. Receiving sexual education had differential health outcomes by orientation.
