Weld County also ranks 4th in the state in terms of women in need of services (women in need being women at or below 200% poverty level). The youth at greatest risk for unintended pregnancies live in a surrounding of economic and social instability, have limited expectations for educational and employment success, and lack positive influences from family, friends, and other adult role models. Program Goals The goal of the program is to reduce the incidence of unintended adolescent pregnancies among high -risk youth in Greeley. The growing number of such pregnancies in conjunction with the severity of the consequences clearly proves the importance of this goal. Other goals of this program that contribute the reduction of unintended teen pregnancies are important in and of themselves: Increasing the knowledge and understanding of the physical, psychological, social, and moral aspects of sexuality and sexual development Increasing self esteem Enhancing decision making skills Increasing and improving young people's communication with parents, peers, and significant others about sexuality Increasing responsible decision making about social and sexual behavior Provide basic health services intended to reduce unintended pregnancies through preventing unprotected intercourse Provide referrals for services depending on the outcome of the contact (including referrals to full family planning services, pre -natal care, pre -parenting education, STD and HIV testing, and other community resources) 972087 Program Plan The Weld County Health Department plans to reach these program goals through a two pronged plan: the provision of a Teen Health Clinic and a peer educator/mentor program. The teen clinic will provide limited nursing services (pregnancy tests, "quick start" birth control - enough supplies to get started before a full family planning visit appointment) through two 2 hour clinics after school each week. The clinic will be housed at the Monfort Children's Clinic. The clinic will be staffed by a RN who will provide the nursing services. The peer educators will: help provide initial intake of clients will be available for one-on-one or couples support/education provide referral services provide a series of programs designed to prevent unintended pregnancies (including sessions on: decision -making, self-esteem, communications, birth control options, abstinence, sexually transmitted diseases, HIV/AIDS, teen pregnancy, refusal skills). Program Objectives/Activities Establish a teen advisory board of approximately 8 youth representative of the target population by December 1, 1997.

Develop marketing materials for the clinic and for the educational series by January 1, 1998. Market the program to youth through peer educators, recreation/youth centers, teen "hangouts" and other avenues as identified by peer advisory board. (ongoing) Provide teen clinic services 2 times per week for 2 hours each day from January 6, 1998 through June 30, 1998 Provide 3 series of educational programs intended to reduce unintended teen pregnancies by June 30, 1998.
