0:00.0	This is Sarah Stewart Holland and this is Beth Silverce.
0:10.4	Thank you for joining us for Pantsuit Politics.
0:26.2	Welcome to another episode of Pantsuit Politics where we take a different approach to the
0:29.4	news. Today we're going to talk about a very interesting update on the CDC Youth Risk
0:33.4	Behavior Survey that we recently talked about on the show. Then we're going to share our conversation

1:51.1	these statistics. They were everywhere all over the headlines about this reported dramatic rise
1:58.6	in the percentage of teen girls who had been sexually assaulted. Well, thanks to the reporting
2:03.9	of the Washington Post fact checkers, we are learning that these numbers were the result of rounding,
2:09.6	more precise decimal points and overestimating the increase and the fact that several schools
2:15.8	leave out those specific questions and so the sample size was affected. All that to say, Beth,
