Self-Study Quiz

According to Faithful Nation (2001), about 83% of American teens say that:
1. religion is an important part of their lives.
2. their religion in an important factor when making sexual decisions.
3. their religion is the most important factor when making sexual decisions.
4. they do not attend religious services regularly.

Faithful Nation (2001) also reported that when asked which institutions should be doing more to prevent teen pregnancy:
1. teens rated "churches and other houses of worship" much lower than schools and community groups and local and federal government.
2. teens rated "churches and other houses of worship" much higher than schools and community groups and local and federal government.
3. adults rated "churches and other houses of worship" in their top three choices.
4. adults rated "churches and other houses of worship" as their top choice.

For the purpose of the November 2001 ReCAPP edition on Communities of Faith, the term "clergy" refers to:
1. priests and deacons.
2. priests, ministers, nuns, and youth ministers.
3. rabbis, priests, and ministers.
4. religious officials.

"Teens who attend services frequently are less likely to have permissive attitudes about sexual intercourse" has been reported by:
1. SIECUS.
2. the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy.
3. the Search Institute.
4. the Alan Guttmacher Institute.

Many reasons have been cited for the lack of collaboration between sexuality educators and religious leaders, including:
1. philosophical differences.
2. not knowing where to start.
3. no policy statement.
4. All of the above.

When partnering with communities of faith, sexuality educators should NOT:
1. know what the red flags are and agree to respectfully disagree on those specific areas.
2. establish a safe learning environment for all.
3. look for existing interfaith groups.
4. address sensitive issues such as masturbation, homosexuality, and abortion at the beginning of meetings in order to get them out of the way.

Our Whole Lives is a:
1. web site dedicated to supporting sexuality education in Judeo-Christian religious institutions.
2. comprehensive sexuality education curriculum developed by the Unitarian Universalist Association.
3. somewhat controversial book about faith, morals, politics and sexuality.
4. report on how religiosity affects sexual behavior from puberty through old age.

Once you have identified a congregation with which you'd like to work, the first step to building a partnership is to:
1. invite the congregation's youth to share what sexuality issues are most important to them.
2. contact the youth minister to gain access to the youth.
3. set up an appointment to talk to the clergy and other congregation leaders.
4. conduct a survey of the congregation's parents to assess their priorities for their children's sexuality education.

When partnering with a congregation, do not hesitate to gracefully decline working together if the clergy insists on approaches that you believe are:
1. biased.
2. inaccurate.
3. hurtful.
4. All of the above.

In the learning activity "Talking with your Child about Sexuality":
1. the six aspects (slices) of an individual's sexuality is likened to how separate pizza slices make up an entire pizza.
2. the six aspects (slices) of an individual's sexuality is likened to how separate pieces make up an entire cheesecake.
3. the author recommends serving pizza as a way to create a fun and positive environment when working with youth.
4. the author recommends refraining from serving pizza or cheesecake during the activity because it could be a choking hazard.
