This website<\/a>contains a list of 26 programs that have been shown to prevent teen pregnancy, HIV and sexually transmitted infections. \u00a0Program descriptions are included, and programs are sorted by which characteristics of adolescent sexual activity they have an effect on or by which settings and populations the programs have been shown to work in.\u00a0These programs are either school-based, community-based, or clinic-based. \u00a0All programs were published in peer-reviewed journals (which speaks to the quality of the evaluation design and analysis), used experimental or quasi-experimental evaluation design (meaning 2 groups were compared, those who participated in the program and those who did not), and had at least 100 young people participate in the program.<\/p>\n

The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy has a\u00a0searchable database<\/a>\u00a0of programs that have been shown to change teen sexual behaviors such a delay the initiation of sex, improve contraceptive use, and\/or decrease teen pregnancy (including secondary pregnancy\/births). \u00a0The inclusion criteria here was looser than the criteria for the above link, so more programs can be found here, however, the evidence of their effects may not be as strong.<\/p>\n
