This grant, offered under the Title V Competitive Sexual Risk Avoidance Education program, aims to fund projects that implement comprehensive sexual risk avoidance education. The primary purpose is to teach participants how to voluntarily refrain from non-marital sexual activity, emphasizing the positive impacts on their future health, psychological well-being, and economic success. Successful projects must utilize medically accurate, evidence-based approaches, integrating research findings with practical implementation tailored to the audience. Programs should normalize avoiding non-marital sexual activity and cover essential topics like self-regulation, healthy relationships, goal setting, resisting sexual coercion, and avoiding other youth risk behaviors such as underage drinking or illicit drug use, without normalizing teen sexual activity. The legislation mandates a clear focus on specific A-F topics to be addressed.
