Survey Release: How Race and Religion Shape Millennial Attitudes on Sexuality and Reproductive Health

Please join Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) for the release of the 2015 Survey of Millennials, Sexuality, and Reproductive Health.

This landmark survey of 2,300 young Americans (age 18-35) focuses on millennials of color and includes oversamples of African Americans, Hispanics, and Asian-Pacific Islanders.

The survey explores the uniqueness of millennials’ opinions on a wide range of topics, including:

• Support for public policies related to contraception and abortion
• Sex education
• Gender norms and sexual identity
• Sexual practices, relationships, and marriage
• Sexual assault and harassment on campus

The survey also asks about sexual practices, relationships, and marriage. Additionally, the survey explores the impact that race, culture, and religion have on these attitudes and behaviors.

PRRI CEO Dr. Robert P. Jones will present the main findings from the survey, followed by a discussion among a panel of experts, including:

• Tina Hoff, Senior Vice President for the Kaiser Family Foundation and Director of the Foundation’s Health Communication and Media Partnerships Program
