Promoting Science-Based Approaches
The intent of this project is to pair COAPPP with local youth serving organizations to increase support and capacity for integrating scientifically proven approaches to planning, implementing, and evaluating programs shown to work in the prevention of pregnancy and HIV/STDs and in the healthy sexual development of teens.
