Just Added to Kidsdata.org: Dating Violence and Teen Sexual Health Data

What do we know about dating and sexual health among California adolescents? Here are some highlights: Four out of five teens ages 14-17 say they have not had sex. About 5% of California’s 7th, 9th, and 11th-graders report that they have experienced physical violence in a dating relationship. And chlamydia rates among California’s youth ages 10-19 increased by roughly 20% from 2000 to 2008.

These and other local data on teen sexual health and dating violence now are  available on kidsdata.org. Dating violence data come from the California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS), a statewide survey of students that  was developed and is administered by WestEd for the California Department of Education, while the teen sexual health data have two sources – the California Health Interview Survey and the California Department of Public Health.
