1 Guide to Community Based Resources New york State department of health Comprehensive Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention (CAPP) Community - Based Initiative Adolescent sexual health is a significant public health issue facing New york State today. The pregnancy rates have declined 43% from a high in 1993, yet they are still unacceptably high with out of every 1000, 15 to 19-year-old females becoming pregnant each year. The racial and ethnic disparities in adolescent sexual health outcomes remain a critical issue with pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease (STD) rates consistently almost three times higher for black and Hispanic teens than for white teens.

2 Adolescent pregnancy and birth rates by region demonstrate the continued trend of higher pregnancy and birth rates in New york City and in specific upstate communities. Pregnancy at too early an age interrupts and disrupts normal adolescent development and often results in significant academic, social and economic loss for the mother, father and child. Purpose To expand primary prevention efforts aimed at decreasing the incidence of adolescent pregnancy, reducing the risk of initial and repeat pregnancies, STDs and HIV/AIDS rates among adolescents.

3 And, to more effectively address the racial, ethnic, and geographic disparities that are related to adolescent sexual health outcomes as well as the social and fiscal issues associated with adolescent parenting. Background CAPP e stablished January 1, 2011, is focused on the promotion of sexual health among male and female eligible adolescents, 10 to 21 years of age through local Community projects. CAPP projects are located in targeted high-need areas that have been identified Based on an Adolescent Sexual health Needs Index (ASHNI).

4 The ASHNI incorporates individual, family and Community antecedents related to poor sexual health outcomes. The initiative incorporates many of the expert recommendations from the symposium NYSDOH held in 2009 that was focused on adolescent sexual health , as well as input from 27 statewide youth focus groups. A copy of the report from the symposium is available on the ACT for Youth COE website at Project Goals Provide comprehensive, age appropriate, evidence- Based , and medically accurate sexuality education to promote healthy sexual behaviors including abstinence, delay the onset of sexual activity and reduce the practice of risky sexual behaviors among youth.

5 Ensure access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare and family planning services for adolescents. Expand opportunities and provide support and alternatives to sexual activity for adolescents, including pregnant and parenting teens, in order to promote an optimal transition through adolescent developmental milestones into a healthy young adulthood. Advance a comprehensive and sustainable local Community effort to improve the Community environment for adolescents through the development of a coordinated Community plan.

6 An optional technology component is incorporated for family planning service providers to maximize the use of information communication technologies that are appropriate and consistent with current adolescent modes of communication. The efforts are focused on improving reproductive and family planning service delivery and decrease barriers for adolescents.
