Selection Tool to Identify Programs that Work to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, HIV & Sexually Transmit Print

The Program Archive on Sexuality, Health & Adolescence (PASHA) is Sociometric Corporation's collection of promising teen pregnancy and HIV/STI prevention programs. The programs are selected by a Scientist Expert Panel for their demonstrated effectiveness in changing sexual risk taking behaviors among teens. For each program included in the collection, archive staff first acquires the original program and evaluation materials from the developers/distributors. Then, staff assembles a package containing the materials you need to replicate the program. To facilitate the replication, adaptation, and further evaluation of these interventions throughout the United States, all PASHA materials are comprehensive, user-friendly, and visually appealing.

To help you select the right PASHA program for your needs, an easy-to-use selection tool, funded by Advocates for Youth, is available online. The selection tool allows you to specify the:

  • Ultimate aim of program (primary pregnancy prevention, secondary pregnancy prevention, or HIV/STI prevention)
  • Original or other suitable program setting (middle school/junior high, high school, college campus, clinic, community-based organization or other community setting, or incarceration facility)
  • Program approach (community outreach, contraceptive/condom access, life option enhancement or youth development, self-efficacy/self-esteem, abstinence, or comprehensive sex education)
  • Population characteristics (gender, race/ethnicity, grade level/age, or other population characteristics, including sexual orientation, rural population, incarcerated, runaway, in residential drug treatment, etc.)
