The study found that 32 percent of 10th-graders report having had sex, and 37 percent of 15- and 16-year olds did not use a condom in their last sexual encounter. The government should consult with youths to ensure they are receiving effective messages about sexual health, said Megan Mitchell, the NSW commissioner for children and young people. "Involving young people in developing these messages will be a key to their success," she said.
