Abstract	There is scant research of adolescents' understanding of abstinence. We conducted interviews with a sample of 58 teens to find out their exposure to abstinence information from a range of sources. Most teens had received abstinence information or messages from school, family members, and friends. For many teens, information about abstinence, or delaying sex, was somewhat superficial. Most had positive views about abstinence but also thought teens should receive information about contraception and safe sex. Information from the perspective of teens can help educators and advocates of comprehensive sex education more effectively discuss abstinence. (Contains 3 notes and 1 table.) (As Provided).
