The National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy has recently released a new resource for community educators and health services providers, written by Randi Burlew, Ph.D. and Susan Philliber, Ph.D., entitled "What Helps in Providing Contraceptive Services for Teens."
The pamphelet examines 12 programs that assist teens in contraceptive use within three major intervention areas, including 1) clinic-based interventions; 2) school-based and school-linked interventions; and 3) interventions that include peer providers. The pamphelet is available through download at the link below, and can be ordered from the
