Decades of research have identified dozens of programs that are effective in helping young people reduce their risk for pregnancy, HIV, and STDs. These evidence-based programs utilize strategies that include the provision of accurate, honest information about abstinence as well as contraception and can serve as the foundation for comprehensive sex education. This resource guide provides information about where to find evidence-based curricula, promising programs, and supplemental lesson plans for use in classroom and community settings.
