Making Proud Choices! A Safer Sex Approach to STDs, Teen Pregnancy, and HIV prevention program aims to provide 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 or using condoms if they choose to have sex. The curriculum consists of eight modules delivered by trained facilitators to young adolescents.
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 implemented in a variety of community settings, including schools or community-based organiaitons. The program was evaluated in an after-school, community-based setting.
