Communicating with Confidence: Evaluating Sexual Education Exposure’s Effect on Sexual Communication
Data used from 293 participants aged 18-25 was used to perform descriptive analyses and linear regressions adjusted for significant covariates.

All resources were found to be positively associated with sexual communication confidence with the exception of health class, which was an insignificant predictor.
