View Award Description

Implementing Love Notes 4.2 AO to reduce unmarried teen births and build healthy relationship skills among youth ages 10-19 across 10 NW Florida counties, with subrecipient HREC. - Bay County Marriage and Family Initiative (BCMFI), together with its Circuit 1 subrecipient, Healthy Relationships Emerald Coast (HREC), requests three years of General Departmental Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (GD-SRAE) funding to serve youth ages 10 to 19 across a ten-county service area covering all of Judicial Circuit 14 and all of Judicial Circuit 1 in Northwest Florida. This region has some of the state's highest rates of unmarried teen births, foster care placement, and youth risk behavior; Circuit 14 ranks 2nd of Florida's 20 judicial circuits on unmarried teen births in both the 15-17 and 18-19 age bands, as well as on youth in foster care. BCMFI will deliver Love Notes 4.2 Abstinence Only (AO), an evidence-based sexual risk avoidance and positive youth development curriculum supported by a five-year, $4.8 million randomized controlled trial through the University of Louisville, with a special emphasis on youth in foster care, emergency shelters, and transitional living facilities, alongside youth reached through school and community partner sites. To ensure age-appropriate delivery across the full 10-19 target population, BCMFI will use both the standard Love Notes 4.2 AO edition for ages 14-19 and the Love Notes Middle School adaptation for ages 10-13. Program services include Love Notes 4.2 AO workshop delivery, universal human trafficking education, referrals to youth-friendly services, and two circuit-level Youth Advisory Boards providing ongoing participant input into program design. Over the three-year project period, BCMFI projects serving approximately 3,405 youth across approximately 92 cohorts, phasing in from its current Bay and Okaloosa County footprint to 8 of 10 counties by Year 2 and full ten-county coverage by Year 3.
