Subject: Memorandum of Understanding for Peer Intervention Project
Enclosed for Board review and approval is a memorandum of understanding between Weld
County Health Department and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment for
the Family Planning Program Peer Intervention Project.
The Health Department has been awarded continuation funding in the amount of$7,500 for this
project for the period August 3, 1998 through June 30, 1999. The purpose of the project is teen
pregnancy prevention using peer-based education and support to high-risk youth in both one-on-
one and group settings. The peer education is comprehensive to not only include facts on teen
pregnancy, abstinence and other birth control options, but also HIV/STDs, date rape/sexual
assault, communication and negotiation skills, self-esteem, and community resources.
The$7,500 will provide for five hours per week of a health educator's time to coordinate the
program and to pay a stipend to four trained peer educators. Educational materials are also
included in the budget for this program.
I recommend your approval of this memorandum of understanding.
