"Making A Difference!" An Abstinence Approach to Prevention of STDs, HIV and Teen Pregnancy is an eight module curriculum that provides young adolescents with the knowledge, confidence, and skills necessary to reduce their risk of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), HIV, and pregnancy by abstaining from sex. The curriculum is designed for middle school youth and is delivered by trained facilitators.
The curriculum is designed for middle-school youth. It was evaluated with African American 11-13 year-olds in urban areas. The developer suggests the program can be used with older youth and with both same-sex or male and female groups.
The program was designed to be delivered in the classroom, either in-school or in community-based locations. The program was evaluated in an outside-of-school community-based setting.
