Adolescent Sexual Health Education: An Activity Sourcebook

Adolescent Sexual Health Education contains more than sixty ready-to-use activities to help practitioners educate teens about pregnancy and STD/HIV/AIDS prevention. The activities are drawn from the Program Archive on Sexuality, Health & Adolescence (PASHA), a collection of prevention programs around the country that have been scientifically evaluated and proven to change teens’ sexual health behaviors.

The Complete HIV/AIDS Teaching Kit with CD-ROM

In a concise and convenient format The Complete HIV/AIDS Teaching Kit provides a multidisciplinary approach to teaching the biomedical, social, psychological, and behavioral aspects of HIV transmission, prevention and treatment, offering readers a full understanding of the disease. Helpful teaching tools like learning objectives, key medical and science terms, discussion questions, and quizzes are just a few of the resources included in the text to make counseling clients, leading group discussions, teaching students, or offering outreach in your community more accessible and effective.

Tools for Building Culturally Competent HIV Prevention Programs

Tools for Building Culturally Competent HIV Prevention Programs comprises science-based, practitioner-friendly resources designed to increase HIV prevention professionals' capacity to conduct effective, culturally competent program planning, implementation, and evaluation. The content was informed by extensive needs assessment research, usability testing, and field testing in collaboration with HIV prevention professionals who are collectively utilizing a variety of prevention approaches, with culturally diverse populations, across a range of agency settings and community contexts.

Model Programs for Adolescent Sexual Health

Model Programs for Adolescent Sexual Health is a directory of the most promising and proven effective sexual education and prevention programs in the United States. The programs included in this volume were selected for their demonstrated positive impact on STI, pregnancy, and HIV/AIDS-related risk behaviors by a group of eminent HIV/AIDS expert scientists.
