Josefina J. Card, Tabitha Benner, “Adolescent Sexual Health Education: An Activity Sourcebook”
Springer Publishing Company | 2008-02-10 | ISBN: 0826138225 | 304 pages | PDF | 1 MB

This useful sourcebook contains more than sixty ready-to-use activities to help practitioners educate teens about pregnancy and STD/HIV/AIDS prevention. The activities are drawn from prevention programs around the country that have been scientifically evaluated and proven to change teens' health behaviors. The book is divided into six sections based on activity type:
Role plays
Group discussions
Homework assignments
Group activities
Teacher-led discussions
Other modalities

Exercises show teens how to:
Discuss sexual issues and sexuality
Negotiate condom use
Protect themselves from STIs/HIV/AIDS
Have a greater understanding of gay, lesbian, and bisexual issues.

This wide range of activities can be used by practitioners to develop a sexuality education program from scratch or to supplement an existing program. Most activities can be led by classroom teachers, facilitators, or health educators with no prior experience. The activities are suitable for community-based organizations, health clinics, or classroom settings.
