New study: Free condom programs aren’t working

The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) reported last week that the distribution of free condoms in high schools yielded the opposite of the desired effect — rather than lowering teen pregnancies, the access to free contraceptives increased fertility by about 10 percent and contributed to a rise in sexually transmitted diseases.

Proponents of free contraceptives in high schools scrambled to explain away the study’s findings.

Sarah Kliff explained on Vox that some “social conservatives” may believe that “free condoms encouraged teenagers to engage in riskier behavior than they would have otherwise — with the condoms available, they could possibly decide to have sex in situations where they otherwise wouldn’t.”
