All4You! PROGRAM EVALUATION

Description According to the U.S. Health and Human Services, their program All4You! “is designed to reduce the number of students who have unprotected sexual intercourse, which is associated with increased risk of HIV, other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and unplanned pregnancy.

The program also aims to change key determinants related to sexual risk taking, such as attitudes, beliefs, and perceived norms. The All4You! program has two primary instructional components—a skills-based HIV, other STD and pregnancy prevention curriculum and service- learning visits in the community—that are integrated and delivered as a 14-session program (about 26 hours total).

The target audience for All4You! includes students in alternative high school settings, who are ages 14 to 18.” In this Application assignment, you should review the general resources on program evaluation in this week’s Assignment folder and All4You!
