Information

Agenda Item Text:

Approve renewal of IGA# ADHS13-034429, Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program (previously HG861229), between the Arizona Department of Health Services and Cochise Health & Social Services, in the amount of $136,414 annually, for the period of January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2017. 

Background:

This contract is the second five-year cycle of ADHS funding for Teen Pregnancy Prevention services in Cochise County.  As per state guidelines, our staff has been trained in eight separate evidence-based curriculae in order to provide a “menu of services” to school districts and other youth-serving organizations. We currently have partnerships with Douglas, Benson and Willcox school districts to provide curriculum to their students and are working on developing partnerships with Sierra Vista, Tombstone, Bowie and San Simon School Districts. We also work with the Juvenile Probation System to deliver curriculum to youth probationer, parents of probationers and teens in detention.  We are continuing implementation of the Youth Health Coalition, begun in 2011 in collaboration with the ADHS-funded Tobacco Prevention program.  The Youth Health Coalition assists with teen pregnancy prevention efforts by developing and providing “prevention messaging” in schools and at other youth-centered events. We also offer parent education classes on talking to youth about sensitive subjects.

This program is important as Arizona has the fourth highest rate of teen pregnancy in the country and the border communities of Douglas and Bisbee/Naco are four times the national average. 

Department's Next Steps (if approved):

Your approvals are respectfully requested.

Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:

Not approving this renewal will cause all activities falling under the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program grant to cease.
