Program component data is not available.

The Teen Health Project consists of workshops and follow-up sessions for youth, a Teen Health Leadership Council, parent education, and a community campaign.
                        - THP workshops:   The two workshops, called 4ME!, focus on HIV/STD and reproductive systems education and skills training on avoiding unwanted sex, sexual negotiation, and condom use, with themes of personal pride and self-respect. Participants set goals for reducing risky behavior at the end of each session.
                        - Follow-up Sessions:   Two follow-up sessions (held one to two months, and four to five months after workshops) are unscripted and more teen-driven than the workshops. They promote conversations about HIV, promote self and community efficacy, and reinforce the messages of the workshops. Participants are encouraged to invite friends from the community to attend the sessions.
                        - Teen Health Leadership Council:  Participants nominate several teen opinion leaders to serve on the Teen Health Leadership Council (a.k.a. Health Council). During Health Council meetings, members develop and plan monthly HIV-prevention activities and events in the community (four events for youth and two events for the entire community).
                        - Parent Education:  The parent education session is designed to share program content and obtain parent buy-in. During the session parents hear about what their teens have been learning, participate in parent-teen communication skill-building exercises, and can see an optional condom demonstration.
                        - Community Campaign:   Participants create a program name, logo, and marketing materials to promote the program. Prevention messages are featured at community-wide social events, talent shows, musical performances, and festivals in order to establish and maintain HIV risk-reduction norms in the community.

THP activities and workshops take place over the course of six months and are organized as follows:
                        - Two 4ME! workshops for adolescents, which are 3 hours each, are delivered once a week. The workshops are held separately for males and females, and for younger (ages 12 to 14) and older (ages 15 to 17) participants.
                        - Two follow-up sessions, 1.5 to 2 hours each, are delivered at one to two months and four to five months after the second 4ME! workshop. The sessions are delivered to small groups of five to ten youth. For the first follow-up session, workshop peers attend together; for the second session, workshop participants are encouraged to invite other friends in the community.
                        - One parent education session that is 1.5 hours long.
                        - THP Leadership Council meetings for selected participants are 1.5 hours each and are delivered weekly for six months, beginning after the first follow-up session.
                        - Throughout the program the THP Leadership Council organizes monthly community activities and quarterly events (four events for youth and two events for the entire community), planned and implemented by the adolescent participants.

### 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.*
