My wife and I started talking about this diary:

I have looked all over the Texas Dept of Health site, Texas A&M, and googled for it BUT I can't seem to find the original study and methodology. Living with a math person she would like to see the method behind the result/announcement.
We had a discussion that basically came down to somethikng like:
A B
Before 38% 28%
After 50% 32%
Where A was a group of kids that didn't have
Sex ed or tradional sex ed, and B was the
abstinence group. If the non-abstinence group
went from 38% to 50% sexually active and then
the abstinence only group went from 28% to 32%
then the abstinence only teaching was BETTER
then traditional teaching even though the
% increased.
So.... if the table was reversed THEN the
abstinence oly training would show to be
bad.
So... anyone know where I can get the report
and the methodology?
