Texas  Adolescent  Pregnancy  Prevention
  Spotlight on Worth the Wait
Developed by the Scott & White Sex Education Program in Temple, Texas
  This program currently has three existing elements for different target audiences. Additional modules may be produced at a later date (including a module on contraception). Each portion is entirely free-standing. The kits include slides and comments for the presentation.  
  • Teens and Sex: What are the Effects?

    • The program deals exclusively with the medical, legal, and social issues that can arise when adolescents have sex. This 90-minute presentation is best suited to groups of 50 or less and is geared to teens. In addition to the slides and presentation comments, also included are guidelines for presenters, sample consent forms for use in school presentations, fact sheets for distribution, and a “test” for the participants.
  • What Adults Need to Know About Teens and Sex

    • This portion of the program also deals exclusively with the medical, legal, and social issues that can arise when adolescents have sex and is similar to the presentation above, except that it is targeted to adults. Again it is a 90-minute presentation best suited to groups of 50 or less. In addition to the slides and presentation comments, also included are guidelines for presenters and suggestions for discussions between parents and children.
  • Teens, Sex and the Law

    • The Scott & White Sex Education Program in partnership with the Bell County Young Lawyers Association developed this portion of the program. The program deals with the legal issues that can arise when adolescents have sex. This is a 60-minute presentation that can be given to larger audiences, but smaller group presentations allow for more interaction. The material is suitable for adults and older teens. In addition to the slides and presentation comments, also included are guidelines for presenters, a sample pledge card for students to sign stating their intentions to wait to have sex, a student handout and a “test” for the participants.
