No
94%

We administered several questions from the 2003 Youth Risk Behavior Survey to ascertain students’
baseline risk behaviors. There were differences between per-forum and post -forum responses.
Ultimately, we discovered that 4% of the 45 students in attendance were already sexually active
(see graph above). Among these students, all reported their first sexual encounter to take place at
age 11 or younger and to have only one lifetime partner with whom they use a condom. Finally,
students also stated that they did not drink alcohol or use drugs before having sex at the time of
their most recent encounter.
