School is the main source of information about sex and relationships for more young people than ever before, academics have found. However, a majority of young people feel they are not getting all the information they need.

The academics compared the data from nearly 4,000 young men and women aged 16 to 24, which was taken between 2010 and 2012, with that from previous surveys in 1990-91 and 1999-2001.
