Long-acting contraception and adolescent pregnancy: a USA research
The rate of teenage pregnancy in the USA is higher than in other developed nations. Teenage births produce health care and public assistance costs so as a loss of educational and social opportunities for teenage girls. Tha data available from the CHOICE Project analyzed pregnancy and birth rates among teenage girls and women 15 to 19 years of age. During the five year period of the Project the pregnancy, birth ana abortion rates of the teenage girls and women enrolled in the Project were very little comparing to those expected and usual in the same age group population. When provided with low cost or free contraception and education, teenagers may avoid potentially dangerous and unwanted pregnancies.

Sexology and the pharmaceutical industry
In recent years, the pharmaceutical industry has become very interested in sex as a focus for drug development and marketing. Many sexologists have embraced this new trend, particularly because of greatly welcomed research funding and increased professional opportunities. However, this new relationship may be a Faustian bargain, and certainly raises serious ethical, political, theoretical, and research problems which must be openly discussed. Some studies are examining background elements which have led to this new science‐industry rapprochement, discussing research and publication problems which have arisen, analyzing conflicts between the models of sexuality favored by industry and sexology.
The social construction of sexual research models
Professionals considered authorities in sex research actively promote particular constructions of sexuality depending on their primary discipline and its frame of reference, and that these core ideas in the study of sexuality can be labeled a "sexological model". This model is a distinct perspective on sexual life that privileges biological and psychological factors while making universal claims about sexuality that de-emphasize or ignore sexuality as a means of fulfilling multiple and diverse motivations, the role of culture in determining sexual roles and enactment scripts, the effects of real-world power on lived sexualities, and the role of commercial and ideological (for example the role of feminist and gay lobbies) factors in shaping current sexualities. The sexological model is not well suited to many social groups' experience of sexuality because of the realities of gender politics and diversity among groups and because it has neglected methods that take various social situations into account.
