(Download Only Version) This report published in 2001 explores underage sexual behaviour and parental responsibility, it highlights the alarming incidence of underage sex across the UK. The home environment is the most significant influence determining whether or not young teenagers are sexually active. Married couple families where the parents have good relationships with their children and communicate effectively with them are the least likely to have teenagers involved in underage sex. A self completion survey was developed from a pilot scheme carried out within Bedfordshire UK between September and November 1999. The pilot questionnaire was completed by 95 respondents within this phase. The results from the pilot scheme informed the basis for the closed questions in the final questionnaire. Participants in the main study were recruited from 21 schools across the UK including some of the most deprived areas within the country, this comprised of 2,250 respondents aged between 13-15 years (school years 9 and 10). The report concludes that when parents show practical concern for the welfare of their young teenagers, monitor their activities and set behavioural guidelines, they create a family environment in which teenage sexual activity is dramatically reduced. Wherever such a caring and protective family environment is lacking teenage sexual activity is much more likely to occur. The type of family unit is a significant factor in underage sex. The children of married parents are the least likely to engage in underage sex. A significant variable is the quality of relationships and communication between parents and teenagers.
