PEP Director Dr. Amy Schalet quoted in article about sexuality in Netherlands

Amy Schalet, Associate Professor of Sociology at UMass Amherst, was quoted in an article, "Worried about your teenage daughter? Move to the Netherlands", published in the LA Times on April 8, 2016. In this article Amy says "The Sexual revolution transformed attitudes in both countries, but, whereas American parents and policymakers responded by tearing teen sex as a health crisis, the Dutch went another way: They consciously embraced it as a natural, though requiring proper guidance."
