INTERVENTIONS
Early education regarding substance use and
risky sexual behavior.
Educate communities through education
seminars, educational programing, and
community events.
Educate females of their responsibility to provide
protection (condoms), not just the male.
Get schools (middle, high, community college,
and universities) involved in educating students
about risky behaviors.
INTERVENTIONS CONTD
Teach abstinence (from sex and substances) is A
way, not THE way.
Increase availability of condoms and
contraceptives to sexually active students.
Drink responsibly! Take protection along to every
party, every date; every time!
Discourage the use of recreational drugs and
educate about the consequences.
Education about safe practices when engaging in
risky behaviors is just as important as education
about STIs.
