Proposal Outline
1. Project Abstract: Please see Appendix F
2. Target Population: The Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment
(WCDPHE) Abstinence Education Program (AEP) is designed to address Weld County
adolescents, ages 11-18 by providing community-based educational programs that promote
abstinence until marriage. The target population in Weld County is Hispanic youth ages 11-18,
high risk teens, Weld County students and parents. There have been few abstinence education
programs geared toward Hispanic youth. The AEP will focus efforts in 2004 on reaching this
demographic because of their high risk nature. The 2001 data for Weld County reveals a teen
fertility rate of 14.8 for 10-17 year olds. A major portion of these were among Hispanic girls. In
2001 77% of the births to teens 10-17 in were to Hispanic girls compared to 21.8% for White,
non-Hispanic girls.
Youth will be recruited through schools, faith based organizations, counseling offices, and
medical offices for abstinence education and sexual cessation. Additionally, Hispanic girls will
be recruited to participate in the Quinceafiera program,which is a cultural rights of passage
mentoring program, and abstinence until marriage will be the focus. Parents and teachers will be
recruited through schools, faith based organizations and the community.
Weld County is Colorado's third largest and includes 31 primarily agricultural/rural communities
totaling a population of 181,000, of which 70% are white, non-Hispanic and 27%are Hispanic.
Greeley is the county seat and hosts 94,597 people. There are 31,000 students in grades K-12
(12,000 who are of Latino/Hispanic origin)who attend one of 13 school districts scattered
throughout the county.
After receiving feedback from the Hispanic community the WCDPHE -AEP identified factors
that contribute to teen sex, STDs and teen pregnancy in Weld County, such as: cultural
acceptance, sexual activity norms, disassociation of choices with consequences,misinformation,
3
family priorities, poor family support, lack of supervision, lower economics and a higher school
drop out rate for Hispanic youth. There is little cultural or consistent support, skill building and
encouragement for Hispanic teens to embrace the daunting task of remaining abstinent until
marriage.
There are two aspects to the WCDPHE-AEP that help fill gaps in services for two specific
populations:Hispanic girls ages 11-14 and high risk sexually active teens. These programs
provided by the AEP are the Quinceafiera program and the SAGE Advice medical model of
sexual cessation. There are currently no known services for abstinence education that are geared
directly toward Hispanic girls_ The families of first generation Hispanic girls may not currently
benefit from the AEP's messages through the schools because of language and cultural bathers.
The Quinceafiera Program will address gaps in information for families in Spanish. The SAGE
Advice program will address gaps in counseling services directed toward sexually active
teenagers.
The WCDPHE -AEP has worked to foster relationships and partnerships with youth serving
organizations in Weld County schools as well as organizations that work primarily with Hispanic
populations such as the Cesar Chavez Cultural Center. In 2003, the AEP partnered with the
Cesar Chavez Cultural Center,and the schools to provide abstinence education, speakers and
incentives for the Latino and Latina Youth Leadership Conferences. A national abstinence
speaker was brought in to compliment these activities, and the programs reached more than 400
Hispanic youth. Every opportunity will be afforded those individuals with physical limitation for
all programming activities. Trainings and programs will be held in wheelchair accessible
locations, and accommodations will be made for individuals who need other assistance.
3. Proposed Project Detail: The WCDPHE—AEP will be using the A-H compliant curriculum,
WAIT Training, which was recently updated and republished and The Art of Loving Well
4
literature series for middle and high school youth. Both of these curricula were recently approved
by the Greeley/Evans school district 6 for use in health education classes. These two programs
will reach an expected to serve 3,000 adults, youth and educators. See Attachment A for an
outline WAIT Training and Attachment B The Art of Loving Well curricula.
Additional programs offered by the WCDPHE -AEP are the Quinceafiera Program (Please see
Attachment C), which is expected to reach 300 youth and adults and the SAGE Advice medical
model for sexual cessation(Please see Attachment D)which is expected to reach 300 youth and
adults. There will also be activities surrounding Abstinence Awareness Week and Talk To Your
Kids About Sex Week each expected to reach 400 youth and adults,parent educational
opportunities expected to reach 300 adults and staff of the program will attend national and state
conferences. The total cost per client is approximately$33.00 per client.
The Quinceanera right of passage is for Hispanic girls turning 15 years old. In the Americanized
culture, this ceremony is seen as permission for girls to participate in sexual activity. The
original purpose of the ceremony is to welcome the girl into womanhood and promote purity
until marriage. The Quinceafiera program will pilot in Greeley in 2004 and will teach abstinence
until marriage,relationship and communication skills, and the steps to intimacy.
The SAGE Advice medical model,based on the 5 A's of cessation, addresses sexual cessation
and will reach high risk teens that are currently sexually active. There will be training available
to mental health and medical professionals who treat youth, and technical assistance provided by
the AEP staff for implementation. Additionally, there will be a support group formed that will
meet at the WCDPHE for additional support for teens currently working toward changing their
high risk behavior and will promote abstinence until marriage.
Youth will be involved in planning an end of program event for the Quinceafiera Program, and
forming the SAGE Advice support group. They will be involved in planning events for
5
Abstinence Awareness Week and Talk to Your Kids about Sex Week and will act as advisory
members to plan school based activities as well as opportunistic events.
The WCDPHE AEP collaborates with many agencies, organizations, schools and faith based
organizations in Weld County. There is also collaboration with the Colorado Abstinence
Relationship and Education, and many abstinence education programs across the state of
Colorado and Nationally. There will be contact between the AEP and local organizations to
provide services,maintain relationships and collaborate on projects such as the Latina Youth
Leadership Conference. The program has a great relationship with the nursing staff of the
WCDPHE and will continue to utilize their expertise to reach teens that come to the health
department for services. There will be a referral process put into place to aid in recruitment and
maintenance of the SAGE Advice support group. The WCDPHE - AEP falls under the umbrella
of the HIPPA(Health Insurance Privacy and Portability Act)regulations as a health department
entity and will be required to follow strict federal regulations regarding confidentiality.
The WCDPHE Abstinence Education staff is primarily responsible for the planning
implementing of the program. There will be opportunity for the Board of County Commissioners
to have input on the program activities as well as the administration of the WCDPHE. Input will
also be received from collaborating partners such as the Latina Women, the Cesar Chavez
Cultural Center and other organisations. The faith based community will be encouraged to
partner with the Abstinence Program to provide leadership within their organizations as well.
Please see Attachment E.
The AEP uses a pre/post evaluation design for WAIT Training classroom lessons and The Art of
Loving Well lessons. There will be pre/post test designs for the Quineafiera Program and SAGE
Advice as well as a tracking form for SAGE Advice to monitor the amount of time spent with
clients. The program will use the unduplicated client forms as provided by the CDPHE. These
6
forms will track ages, ethnicity, and total numbers reached. The program will develop tracking
forms to record the numbers present and time served at SAGE Advice events and counseling
sessions as well as unduplicated client counts.
4. Methodology: The WCDPHE -AEP facilitates behavior change and knowledge change
among youth and adults in many ways. WAIT Training and The Art of Loving Well are both
educational curricula, and are compliant with the federal definition of abstinence education
programs. Both promote character and resiliency in youth and help build skills youth will use to
manage their sexual behavior until marriage. WAIT Training is currently being evaluated in
Weld County by Prime Solutions, Inc. of Fort Collins. The Art of Loving Well was used and
evaluated by Boston University in Boston, Massachusetts.
The Quinceafiera Program involves parents, youth, faith based organizations and the community
to not only teach abstinence until marriage,but to engage the community in collaboration and
increase awareness and support for abstinence education in Weld County. The program is
currently being evaluated by FRIENDS FIRST of Longmont, Colorado.
SAGE Advice improves self-efficacy and conflict resolution, anger management and
communication and refusal skills of youth. It was developed by Dr. Alma Golden,a pediatrician,
currently with the Dept. of Health &Human Services in Washington,DC. The model is based on
a the Stages of Change Health Model.
The curriculum used for WAIT Training, The Art of Loving Well and SAGE Advice are written
in English. There are Spanish speaking individuals who provide the education in Spanish for
those with language barriers. The Quinceafiera program is primarily is Spanish because the
population reached is largely Spanish speaking only. The programs are all used with auditory,
visual and kinetic activities to provide for all students and families.
