Yaëlle Amsellem-Mainguy conducted two surveys of young people aged 14 to 25 to see how they use the Internet to learn about contraception and sexuality.

It helps fill the knowledge gap young people feel regarding sexuality. But one challenge remains: ensuring the reliability of the websites they visit.
