                        - Skills and self-efficacy for using condoms and other contraceptives.

The IYG curriculum was developed using a systematic instructional design process, Intervention Mapping, to ground its content in social cognitive theory, social influence models, and the theory of triadic influence.

The developer requires a 2-day pre-implementation training, conducted by the University of Texas Prevention Research Center. The training cost is $500 per participant.

Training topics consist of: 1) Overview of the IYG Curriculum; 2) Adolescent sexual health and well being; 3) Life skills, including decision making, communication, and refusal skills; 4) Puberty; 5) Healthy relationships; 6) HIV, STIs, and teen pregnancy.

The training utilizes lesson demonstration and modeling, interactive lesson practice and instant feedback. Trainers also cover strategies for dealing with sensitive issues and handling classroom controversy, guidelines for adapting curriculum to ease implementation, strategies for addressing implementation challenges, and action planning for effective implementation.

### Evidence by Outcome Domain and Study

#### Notes

*Some study entries may include more than one citation because each citation examines a different follow-up period from the same study sample, or because each citation examines a different set of outcome measures on the same study sample. A blank cell indicates the study did not examine any outcome measures within the particular outcome domain or the findings for the outcome measures within that domain did not meet the review evidence standards.*

*Information on evidence of effectiveness is available only for studies that received a high or moderate rating. Read the description of the review process for more information on how these programs are identified.*
