[Family and school: contexts associated with the onset of sexual activity among colombian teenagers].

CONCLUSIONS : This study highlights the importance of parental involvement in the education of children to delay the onset of sexual activity as a healthy practice during adolescence. Less parental supervision and a greater age result in earlier onset of sexual activity in young people. Co-educated teens engage in this activity earlier, although their mothers tend to supervise them more. Family and school are important contexts for fostering healthy life styles in teenagers.
