To see whether Public Health Service attempts to educate the public about the dangers of having multiple sexual partners have been effective, a survey was conducted of the sexual behaviors of women at Brown University in Providence, RI (DeBuono et al., 1990). The researchers found that about the same number of college women were having multiple partners as was found in a 1975 survey. The researchers concluded, "Public health campaigns have not had a substantial influence on the habits and behavior of these well educated young adults." The Washington Post reported,"A study published today found that college women are just as sexually active with multiple partners as they were in the mid1970s." Comment on the similarities and differences of these two conclusions.
