From the Paper:

"The delivery of birth control information to teenagers and making contraceptive devices or preparations accessible to teenagers are two related and equally controversial issues in the United States in the 1990s. The increasing prevalence of both teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) among teenagers, however, exerts an impact on the practice of nursing regardless of how controversial the issues may be. This research reviews the problems associated with unprotected sexual activity among teenagers as well as the attitudes of teenagers toward the use of condoms, as a means of illustrating the impact of these phenomena on the practice of nursing."
