Adolescent Family Planning and Reproductive Health Education
Adolescents require a collaborative approach to address their needs in reproductive health education. This includes access to knowledge and guidance, resources for creating healthy relationships, and support to accomplish their goals. Various stakeholders such as family planning providers, school nurses, counselors, and community groups play a crucial role in preventing unintended pregnancies and empowering adolescents. The Title X program, established in 1970, continues to provide essential family planning services to those in need, ensuring access to contraceptive supplies and services across different states and territories.
