Sexual Health Programs C.R.S. 22-25-104

Identified Sexual Health Programs 

Process

To fulfill this requirement, a list of programs was collected from various national registries. Based on information gathered through these registries, programs that meet the criteria for Evidence-based were internally identified for further review. Programs that met the evidence-based criteria were reviewed by CDE staff and end users of the curriculum to determine the extent that they were culturally sensitive, reflective of positive youth development and aligned with the Comprehensive Health Education Standards related to sexual health. For definitions of evidence-based, culturally sensitive, and positive youth development see C.R.S. 22-25-103 and to review the comprehensive health education standards. Below are the direct links to the identified registries:

• What Works Clearinghouse: HS Teen Pregnancy Prevention Evidence Review

• CDC Evidence-Based Teen Pregnancy Prevention Programs

Five programs have been identified that meet the initial criteria for evidence based. Based on our review none of the programs meet all the criteria for culturally sensitive, a positive youth development approach and standards alignment.

The summary documents provide an overview of the programs and alignment with the legislatively required criteria and standards.
