Three local governments in Ibadan metropolis and three co-educational secondary schools were assigned to three groups, I, II and III by simple random sampling procedure. This comprised of 60 males and 60 females with the mean age of 17.3 years. Sexual behaviour inventory was used to collect data. Analysis of covariance was used to analyse the null hypothesis. The result indicated that there were significant differences in knowledge of consequences of promiscuity between adolescents in the treatment and the ones in the control groups.
