| Youth worldwide are designated as a high-risk group needing specific prevention approaches for maximum effectiveness. Many nations find upward of fifty percent of their populations under the age of 19, therefore requiring insights to adolescent sexual behaviors and factors that influence timing of sexual debut. Specifically, the presentations will discuss behavior change in youth and the potential impact of abstinence clubs; a ‘behind closed door’ look at risky sexual and drug use behaviors among Iranian youth; barriers to delayed sexual debut among African youth and factors that influence sexual debut among Belizeans. | |||
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to (1) understand influences on sexual debut and (2) recognize the importance of behavior change among youth. | |||
