Programs to Reduce Teen Pregnancy Among Middle-School Youth
The National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy partnered with Child
Trends to produce these
two new reports.
A Good Time provides detailed descriptions of those
after-school programs that
have been shown through careful research to have a positive impact on
adolescent sexual behavior.
No Time to Waste provides detailed descriptions of those programs for
middle-school-aged youth
that have been shown through careful research to have a positive impact
on adolescent sexual
behavior.
Both publications include practical information (such as
program contacts, program costs,
and evaluation results) that may be helpful to those interested in
setting up similar programs.
A team of researchers from Child Trends' Fertility and Family Structure
group wrote the reports,
which were developed as part of the National Campaign's ongoing Putting
What Works to Work
project. This project, which is funded by the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, involves
translating research on teen pregnancy prevention and related topics
into user-friendly materials
for practitioners, policy makers, and advocates.
