However, the extent to which parents are actually providing quality SHE to their children is unclear. Respondents rarely identify their parents as a primary source of sexual health information (Ansuini, Fiddler- Woite, & Woite, 1996). Further, in one study, only 61% of students felt that their parents had done a good job providing them with SHE (McKay & Holowaty, 1997). Similarly, McKay et al. (1998) found that 70% of the parents they surveyed felt that most parents do not give children the SHE they need. Although 73% of the parents surveyed by McKay et al. (1998) felt that they had provided adequate SHE for their children, Welshimer and Harris (1994) found that only.
