Do parents talk to their adolescent children about sex?--findings from a community survey in Singapore.

CONCLUSION: Caregivers generally felt it was important but were significantly much less comfortable and confident talking about sexuality issues with their children, which leads to a lower frequency of caregiver-child sexuality communication. Educational programmes on adolescent sexual health targeting parents/caregivers are needed. They must be equipped with skills and provided with resources to enable them to talk to their adolescent children about sexuality. PMID: 22821244 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
