On the Road to Healthy Living is a new bilingual curriculum on AIDS and HIV prevention education for migrant students in grades 6 through 12. Was written specifically for migrant students because they are frequently absent from health education classes due to travel or special language enrichment classes due to travel or special language enrichment sessions. There are also very few Spanish language HIV prevention curricula in public schools.
Migrant youth have the lowest graduation rate of any group of students in public schools.
Special efforts are needed to reach theses students with HIV prevention education in upper elementary and middle school grades before they drop out. To encourage farmworker teens to delay sexual intercourse. To help students practice making decisions about HIV-related situations. To help students understand and practice assertive behaviors in potentially high-risk situations. To help students know how to use condoms correctly and urge sexually active teens to use them consistently.
