Today while driving to work and listening to NPR....DAY to Day....I had already read an AP article about the report in the local paper........A new study finds that one out of every four teen girls has a sexually transmitted disease. Madeleine Brand talks to John Douglas, director of the Center for Disease Control's division of STD prevention, about the findings and why African-American girls are the hardest hit.
Then a panel of teens from Youth Radio discuss why they think STDs are so widespread among girls their age.http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=88140117&ft=1&f=1003
