By October 1996, community members should be aware of the teen pregnancy challenge facing Nevada and mobilize support for the statewide campaign through local community involvement and support.
Youths are the center of the teen pregnancy prevention effort.
The support of youths is needed in a number of ways. Youths can be directly involved by participating in teen pregnancy prevention programs offered through organizations or clubs at school, within the community, or places of worship. Youths need to prevail against peer and societal pressures to become sexually active. Every community member has an important contribution to make. Young people and parents should share their experiences and concerns with Community Action Teams during each phase of the intervention's development and implementation.
