US: Healthy Sexuality and Pregnancy Prevention for Youth in Foster Care: Adapting a Curriculum for Parents and Caregivers of Youth in Foster Care into an Online Course (Includes audio) (Press release)
United States Administration for Children and Families, Office of Planning, Research, & Evaluation – March 01, 2023
To reduce the risks related to sexual activity and help youth transition to adulthood, Congress authorized the Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) as part of the 2010 Affordable Care Act. PREP grantees educate youth on abstinence and contraception to prevent pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. They receive funding from the Family and Youth Services Bureau in the Administration for Children and Families within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. To support PREP programming, ACF contracted with Mathematica to conduct the PREP: Promising Youth Programs (PREP-PYP) project. One aim of PREP-PYP was to develop or adapt sexual health curricula for populations typically underserved by existing sexual health curricula.
