Not Right Now: Put Pregnancy on Pause

The Not Right Now initiative of the South Carolina Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy urges teens to think about the consequences BEFORE they have sex, make a plan for sexual health, and speak up for themselves. The initiative is intended for teens, parents, and educators.

The initiative includes a website which walks the user through the various options regarding deciding whether to have sex, how to be protected, making a plan for their futures, and connecting with others about their decision.

By giving teens frank information about preventing pregnancy and giving parents the tools to talk to their teen about sex, NOT RIGHT NOW is demystifying teen sexuality. We are empowering teens to take control of their sexual health today, so that they can have brighter, better future tomorrow.

Feeding America

Feeding America is a non-profit organization which works closely with the private sector, and has a mission to feed America’s hungry through a nationwide network of member food banks and engaging the US public, private, and government agencies. It is the largest domestic hunger-relief organization in the US.

Feeding America is a good example of a non-profit which actively seeks private sector partnerships, offers them a variety of opportunities to partner with the project, and publicizes their involvement clearly in all of their publications.

On its website, the Partners page lists major US corporations which provide a variety of support mechanisms from direct funding to in-kind contributions. There are a variety of partner levels of involvement. For example, the Mission partners make aggregate contributions or commitments of $500,000 or more, donations of 5 million pounds or more of food and grocery products, or combined gifts of $250,000 or more and 2.5 million pounds or more of food and grocery products. The Guiding Partners make aggregate contributions or commitments of $250,000 or more, donations of 2.5 million pounds or more of food and grocery products, or combined gifts of $150,000 or more and 1.5 million pounds or more of food and grocery products.

Get Yourself Tested Campaign Materials

The GYT: Get Yourself Tested campaign is a youthful, empowering social movement to encourage young people to get tested and treated, as needed, for STDs and HIV. The campaign is a partnership between the American College Health Association, Kaiser Family Foundation, National Coalition of STD Directors, MTV, and Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Technical consultation for GYT is provided by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

GYT increases awareness about STDs and how to prevent them, links young people to STD testing services, and promotes a more open dialogue with partners and health care providers. After all, sexually active young people account for half of the 20 million new STDs occurring in the U.S. each year – and most don’t know they are infected.

Although GYT is a national campaign, schools, community organizations, health care providers, and health departments across the country have adapted GYT to fit their local demographic and host testing and awareness events.

GYT also has a website to help service providers which offers resources to help health care providers better serve younger patients. This site provides insight into what youth want to know about sexual health and STD testing, as well as resources for talking to patients about sexual history and STD testing, and GYT materials for clinics.

16 Points of Action to Stop Violence Against Women and Children

The campaign uses Interpersonal communication, mass media and advocacy to reach its audiences. This leaflet offers sixteen points of action to stop violence, including not being silent, staying away from alcohol if that triggers violence, understanding your own behavior, encouraging your friends to speak out against gender-based violence, being aware of the signs of violence, and helping victims of violence to get help.

The South Africa National Communication Survey 2012 Preliminary Results revealed that Scrutinize (another Tanzanian campaign, the materials for which are in the Health COMpass) reached about 70% and Brothers for Life reached about 60% of their intended population. Regarding condom use, it was also determined that both programs should continue to promote self-efficacy and positive attitudes toward condom use (as those shown in this presentation) as these have a positive net effect on condom use at last sex. Condom use promotion through community meetings and increasing community involvement also has a positive effect on condom use. The survey also revealed in regards to HIV testing that self-efficacy to request partner testing and discussion with sex partners about getting tested together has a positive net effect. Regarding, Multiple Sex Partners (MSP), neither program is having any direct effect on MSP but has a net positive effect on self-efficacy to avoid MSP. Both programs should continue to promote self-efficacy to avoid MSP but need to be careful not to increase attitudes that favor MSP. The evaluation of Scrutinize shows that this program increased favorable attitudes toward MSP. The Brothers for Life program did not have this negative effect.
