 AB    This study, based on a random sample of adults in a rural North Carolina
       county, demonstrates racial differences in rural adults' attitudes
       relating to adolescent sexual issues. Blacks were 50% more likely than
       Whites to indicate that public schools should provide general health
       care services, including pregnancy testing and treatment of sexually
       transmitted diseases, to teenagers; however, they were only half as
       likely as Whites to approve of sexual experimentation by adolescents.
       The local community's attitudes must be considered in the implementation
       of rural adolescent health programs, including acquired immunodeficiency
       syndrome education.
