Optimally Changing the Map for Teen Pregnancy Prevention in Spartanburg - Spartanburg’s experience and lessons learned through implementing teen pregnancy prevention strategies over the course of the last decade, coupled with existing partnerships, local champions, and community capacity to effectively implement evidence-based adolescent health programs in communities of greatest need, make it uniquely positioned to prevent risk taking behaviors and promote optimal adolescent health. This proposal seeks to increase protective factors and achieve optimal health through evidence-based interventions targeting youth in and out of school and families/caregivers and by creating a systems-level approach to increase coordination and effectiveness of efforts to promote healthy development of youth in schools, communities and anchor institutions. Focused on our most vulnerable youth who will receive high doses of interventions aimed at building protective factors through positive youth development activities and systems changes to improve access to supportive services. This proposal will provide valuable lessons learned on the systems impacting sexual risk avoidance, parental monitoring, effective referrals, and high quality out of school time opportunities.
