The YouthNet Program, coordinated by Family Health International, announces
the publication of two new YouthLens research briefs and a programmatic tool
for working with the private sector.

1. YouthLens No. 8 - Abstinence and Delayed Sexual Initiation - is now
available. Promoting abstinence is an important strategy that can help delay
sexual activity, but complementary messages are needed for those who are
sexually active. This research brief is available at
http://www.fhi.org/en/Youth/YouthNet/Publications/YouthLens+English.htm
(PDF 154K).

2. YouthLens No. 9 - Information and Communications Technology - has been
published. Technology resources increasingly link professionals working with
reproductive health and HIV prevention programs in developing countries.
These same resources - e-mail, CD-ROMs, listservs, the Internet, radio, and
television - hold great promise for reaching youth as well. Read about these
resources and how they can be applied to youth health issues at
http://www.fhi.org/en/Youth/YouthNet/Publications/YouthLens+English.htm
(PDF 146K).

3. Private-Sector Assessment Tool. This handbook serves as a guide for
conducting a technical assessment of the potential for private-sector youth
reproductive health interventions. You can access this handbook online at
http://www.fhi.org/en/Youth/YouthNet/ProgramsAreas/PrivateSector.htm
 (PDF 528K).
