Two New Reports: Guys and Latino Youth Talk About Teen Pregnancy Prevention

Two new reports were published earlier this year. One of the reports talks about the role guys play in teen pregnancy prevention. The other one talks about how to work with Latino youth.

The report about guys puts a spin on the pregnancy prevention discussion by putting the focus on teen boys. Researchers are saying this is really important. They also think that one of the reasons why teen pregnancies have gone down in the last few years is that the sexual behaviors and attitudes of teen boys are changing at the same time that condom use is going up. Many peer provider programs already focus on guys, and once you‘ve read this report you’ll see why. This report will encourage you to keep expanding your services to teen guys.

The report about Latino youth is full of interesting information like how hard it is for many Latino parents to talk about sex with their kids, and the culture clash that happens between immigrant parents and their kids who speak English and are more adapted to American culture.
