Becoming a Responsible Teen An 8-session community-based HIV prevention program. BART helps teens clarify their own values about sexual activity, make decisions that will help them avoid becoming infected with HIV, and learn skills to put their decisions into action.

abstinence-plus program has been proven to delay sexual behaviors among adolescents, and is a fun and effective way to teach teens about their bodies, personal relationships, personal rules, and sex, while giving them the skills to grow into safe, responsible young adults. The program integrates group-based classroom activities, such as roleplays, discussions and small group work, with personalized journaling and individually tailored computer-based activities to help young people delay sex, develop positive attitudes toward abstinence, gain greater self efficacy for refusing sex, and increase their knowledge about condom and contraceptive use.

Although not specifically pregnancy prevention oriented, many of the communication and condom skills taught in BART will also help students avoid unintended pregnancy.

Safer Choices seeks to motivate behavioral change by addressing factors such as attitudes and beliefs (including self-efficacy), social skills (particularly refusal and negotiation skills), functional knowledge, social and media influences, peer norms, and parent/child communication.
