Perhaps research should focus more on how significant the problem really is, what factors are contributing to it and what sorts of things can be done about it. For example, although most teenagers appear to be more knowledgeable about sex these days, this begs the question of whether that actually leads to higher rates of sex between adolescents and perhaps more importantly, to higher rates of sexually transmitted diseases, teenage pregnancies and abortions.
或許研究的焦點應著重於問題的嚴重性有多高、形成問題的因素何在，以及如何採取實際的措施以解決問題。比方說，儘管今天的青少年似乎擁有豐富的性知識，但是這是否果真造成了青少年性行為發生率的增高？
