Honors Program Theses and Projects

In today's world, women are attempting to take control of their reproductive choices.

Adolescent Sexuality And Family Planning Awareness, Knowledge, Attitude And Behavior: Taiwan, George P. Cernada, Ming-Cheng Chang, Hui-Sheng Lin, Te-Hsiung Sun

Asian Language & Literature Occasional Papers

Basic Beliefs About A New Human Life And Ethical Judgment: Family Planning Field Workers In Taiwan, Geroge P. Cernada

This drop from 3% to less than 2% in a decade has been a remarkable achievement. The island, …
