Teens tap into sexual advice via text Tom Willetts Wednesday August 1, 2007 SocietyGuardian.co.uk Text Sam received more than 42,000 requests for information during a pilot scheme. This article was corrected on Friday August 10 2007 The article below had mistakenly stated that almost 90% of young people in the London boroughs of Southwark and Lambeth have had a sexually transmitted disease, when that figure actually applied to the percentage of young people surveyed in the boroughs who would welcome the Text Sam service. A charity is rolling out a pioneering service that gives young people sexual health advice by text message after a successful pilot in the two boroughs with the highest rate of sexually transmitted disease in Europe. Safe Haven is launching Text Sam across Britain to provide information for young men and women about contraception, sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy and sexuality.
