The UK has some of the worst rates of teenage pregnancy in Western Europe and Snapshot explores some of the reasons behind Britain's teenage pregnancy and STI epidemic. Official statistics show that one in seventeen teenagers will fall pregnant and a recent individual study suggests the figure may be as high as one in eight. Furthermore Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STIs) are on the increase in young people and the contraction of some diseases such as Chalamydia have doubled in the last decade.
Our interviews reveal that deaf teenagers just aren't getting the message about safe sex and are taking risks. Could the problem start with access to sex education at school? Or is it because there are inadequate resources being aimed at deaf teens, or is it that teenagers are a hard audience to please and the information isn't being delivered in the right way? Snapshot aims to get closer to the answers and road tests its very own Sex Education game which you can download for free below.
