Bowling Green, KY – Kentucky students in middle and high school are smoking less and doing fewer drugs, yet most admit to having sex before graduating from high school. The numbers come from a University of Kentucky study that examined students from 1997 to 2003. Lisa Autry speaks with one of the study's authors, Dr. Jeff Jones of the UK College of Public Health.
