These evaluation projects are funded by the New Mexico Department of Health, Public Health Division, Office of Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention. Dr. Susan Philliber is the contract consultant for the projects. In 1999, the Department of Health, Office of Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention funded six community sites to implement prevention strategies. These programs provide services to teen mothers and their children by providing childcare and supporting academic success, parenting skills, and employment.
Some programs take place in a school setting, others are residential facilities.
A preliminary evaluation report, Future Voices , was published in 1999 and a final three-year report on all New Mexico teen parent programs will be available in the fall of 2000. For more information, go to Challenge 2005 . Let us know how we help you meet this goal.
