Clark County appears to have higher numbers in all areas except the poverty measure.
Are these numbers surprising to anyone and what are some thoughts about improving some of these areas?

Preaching abstinence doesn't seem to be working, maybe it's time for the chastity belt?
It doesn't appear that planned parenthood and sex education has done much and this is what is being offered and taught in our public schools.
A little more encouragement on abstinence along with reasonable education would be best
