N2  - As part of a community plan to implement abstinence-based sexuality education, this study assessed opinions toward sexuality education among residents. Respondents (N = 1,090) were selected by random digit dialing. The survey, adopted from previous national studies, assessed attitudes towards sexuality education. Chi-square tests of significance were used to determine relationships between demographic variables and participants? attitudes. Results demonstrated overwhelming support and were successfully used as part of a larger initiative to replace an abstinence-only curriculum with an abstinence-based one. This study details those findings and demonstrates the benefit of using local data to bring about community change.<p />
