Greetings,

Family Health International is pleased to announce:

New YouthLens Issues, the four-page research brief series that
synthesizes information on critical topics related to youth reproductive
health and HIV prevention, are available at

Prevention

Youth projects are increasingly involving community members in
designing, shaping, and implementing projects. Research findings are
promising, but more program experience and research are needed to
understand the impact such efforts have.

No. 20. School-Based Reproductive Health and HIV Education Programs - An
Effective Intervention

review of evaluated programs shows that well-designed programs work, but
implementation issues such as teacher training and cultural
sensitivities remain challenging.

No. 21. Integrating Reproductive Health and HIV Services for Youth

Research identifies the need for more attention to pregnancy prevention
in a variety of settings, but delivery models need further testing.

(2001-06), led by Family Health International (FHI). Now, FHI is
continuing to publish YouthLens on behalf of the Interagency Youth
Working Group, or IYWG. The IYWG is a network of nongovernmental
agencies, donors, and cooperating agencies supported by the U.S. Agency
for International Development to improve reproductive health and prevent
HIV/AIDS among young people ages 10-24. For more information, a new IYWG
Web site will be live in several months. Watch for an announcement.
