Team Approach

Participants are encouraged to come as Teams from their School Health Advisory Councils (SHACs), schools or communities. Although individuals are welcome, joining a team is highly encouraged.

PARENT OPINION SURVEY OF PUBLIC SCHOOL SEXUALITY EDUCATION

In October 2003, the Department of Public Instruction and the HIV/STD Prevention and Care Branch implemented a telephone survey to assess parent opinions regarding sexuality education in North Carolina public schools. The State Center for Health Statistics surveyed 1306 parents of public school students for an 84% response rate. Parents were asked if they thought sexuality education should be taught in public schools, at what grade it should begin, what topics should be covered and who should be responsible for making these decisions.

Most recently in November 2008, the Survey Research Unit at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill implemented the same telephone survey to parents of public school students. The purpose of the survey was to provide an update of the 2003 survey assessing parent opinions regarding sexuality education in North Carolina public schools. There were 1,201 parents randomly selected and interviewed across the state of North Carolina with a 52% response rate.
