Greetings,

YouthNet is pleased to announce that three new YouthLens are now available
on Family Health International's (FHI) Web site at:
http://www.fhi.org/en/Youth/YouthNet/Publications/YouthLens+English.htm
<http://www.fhi.org/en/Youth/YouthNet/Publications/YouthLens+English.htm> .

*       No. 10. Nonconsensual Sex among Youth (in collaboration with the
Population Council/India and WHO)
*       No. 11. Maternal Health Care among Adolescents (in collaboration
with WHO)
*       No. 12. Expanding Contraceptive Options and Access for Youth

These four-page YouthLens research briefs summarize the latest information
on key issues regarding reproductive health and HIV prevention among youth
ages 10 to 24. If you would like us to mail hard copies to you, please send
an e-mail to [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> . The issues
will be available in Spanish and French in about six weeks.

Through our electronic announcements, two new YouthNet-supported
publications have attracted wide attention: a new fertility awareness manual
geared towards youth ages 10 to 14 and a summary of a technical meeting on
HIV and youth. In February alone, more than 5,000 people downloaded one of
these from our Web site (go to
http://www.fhi.org/en/Youth/YouthNet/Publications/otherpubs.htm
<http://www.fhi.org/en/Youth/YouthNet/Publications/otherpubs.htm>  and look
under "Training Materials" and "Meeting Reports").

Current YouthNet activities include our continuing collaboration with MTV to
bring HIV messages to youth around the world, the pre-testing of a guide on
how to increase youth participation, the development of a Web-based
compendium on youth reproductive health/HIV policies, the development of a
manual for VCT youth counselors, field programs in Tanzania and Namibia, and
a broad research program. You will be hearing more about these in the
future.
