What Works for Adolescent Reproductive Health: Lessons from Experimental Evaluations of Programs and Interventions. Fact Sheet. Publication #2008-20.

Abstract

OVERVIEW The reproductive health of American adolescents has been, and continues to be, a matter of serious concern. America’s teen birth rate – already the highest among developed nations – is again on the rise, and rates of sexually transmitted diseases among American teens are very high. As such, the development and identification of effective interventions to help youth avoid negative reproductive health outcomes is of great importance.
