Percent who have had sex
Never attends 47.3*
Less than once a month 48.5*
Between once a month and less than weekly 42.4*
Weekly or more 30.8
*significantly more than "weekly or more"

Percent who used protection the first time

Less than once a month 71.6
Between once a month and less than weekly 68.9
Weekly or more 65.0
The differences among these groups are all statistically non-significant.
