The National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy

Abstract:
[ARCHIVED] This resource folder was designed for National Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month in May 1998 and the first anniversary of the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. With a focus on the role of parents, materials in the folder include: 'Snapshots from the Front Line II: Lessons from Programs that Involve Parents and Other Adults in Preventing Teen Pregnancy;' 'Ten Tips for Parents to Help Their Children Avoid Teen Pregnancy--Plus: A List of Resources for Parents;' 'Where Are the Adults?: The Attitudes of Parents, Teachers, Clergy, Coaches, and Youth Workers on Teen Pregnancy--A Focus Group Report;' 'Families Matter: A Research Synthesis of Family Influences on Adolescent Pregnancy;' and 'Parents of Teens and Teens Discuss Sex, Love, and Relationships.' The packet includes a summary of key statistics on teen pregnancy, information on the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy (highlighting work in research and the media), and winning entries from teens in a public service campaign contest. The packet also contains a brief description and contact information for 1998 National Campaign honorees, organizations whose prevention efforts excel in building common ground, corporate leadership, effective programs, teen leadership, male involvement, media innovation, and state leadership.
