Waimanalo Health Center - Teen ClinicAGENCY NAME: Waimanalo Health Center
PROGRAM NAME: Teen Clinic
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Waimanalo Health Center (WHC), a community-based, non-profit, has a mission to "...improve the quality of life for he people of Hawai`i nei by providing ready access to primary and preventive health services." WHC is committed to providing teen pregnancy prevention services for teens age 14-18. Family planning services include annual exams, pregnancy testing, STD testing, birth control management, emergency contraception and health education and counseling.
PROGRAM PROGRESS: PPHI educators taught sexual health lessons to youth in six middle schools across Oahu from January to June 2011. Youth received information on reproductive anatomy & puberty, Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), and contraceptive methods which included discussion of abstinence, which can be 100% effective at preventing STIs and unintended pregnancy. Each topic was taught in one class period/session. PPHI staff reached youth at both public and private middle schools, however, outcome data was only collected from private schools. This is due to the Department of Education's regulation (Board of Education Policy 2500) which prohibits data collection in the classroom from outside agencies. PPHI staff were able to collect outcome data from 27% of middle school youth reached. |

Hale Kipa - Pregnancy Prevention ProgramAGENCY NAME: Hale Kipa, Inc.
PROGRAM NAME: Pregnancy Prevention Program
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Hale Kipa’s Pregnancy Prevention Program is a vital component of the agency’s positive youth development programming offered to 400+ students at Kawananakoa and Stevenson Middle Schools. Using evidence-based curriculum, staff provide classes on pregnancy prevention as well as offering case management and afterschool groups. In efforts to delay teen pregnancies, staff seek to increase youth’s 1) knowledge of sexuality and healthy adolescent development, 2) communication and refusal skills, 3) aspirations for the future and 4) positive peer influences. Hale Kipa will work with Planned Parenthood Hawaii and Hawaii Youth Services Network to ensure adherence to best practices.
PROGRAM PROGRESS: Hale Kipa’s Pregnancy Prevention Program provided all of the sessions of the Draw the Line/Respect the Line curriculum to 6th graders at both Kawananakoa and Stevenson Middle Schools this past semester. The curriculum proved to be a success in helping the youth learn skills on how to resist pressures regarding tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs. The youth participated in role plays to practice how to say “no” and also created their own role plays. The curriculum is designed to follow these youth through 7th and 8th grade, where they learn to apply these skills to dating and sexual situations. |
