Brief Summary:
The Building Futures for Youth BFY project is a pilot intervention program for 6th grade students and their parents in the District of Columbia public school system The full intervention will include students in the 6th 7th and 8th grades The primary overall goal of the project is to help students learn to make healthy life choices and delay sexual initiation
Sixth-grade children and parents in four Washington DC public schools will be recruited for this study Children from two schools will participate in the BFY intervention program and children from two other schools will serve as controls Participants are guided through three study phases with each phase spanning one school year as follows
Sixth-grade students are given a foundation in goal setting decision-making and communication skills They gain knowledge about puberty reproduction and the negative consequences associated with having a child at a young age They learn strategies for getting out of situations in which they feel pressured to engage in sexual activity Through lessons activities and discussions they are given tools to answer the following questions
Who am I Students engage in self-reflection activities and discussions that allow them to become aware of their values beliefs and strengths increasing self-esteem and a positive self-image
What do I want for my life Students engage in goal-setting activities creating short-term and long-term goals and mapping out the necessary steps to achieve the goals

Seventh grade students are given the tools and skills necessary to deal with a variety of challenges they may experience during their developmental years They receive comprehensive sex education in conjunction with life skills such as relationship negotiation dating skills violence prevention and problem-solving skills
Eighth grade students are guided through a series of activities that encourage students to translate knowledge gained in the 6th and 7th grade phases into long-term behavioral changes and risk reduction Activities include writing and performing skills creating an informational pamphlet designing T-shirts and creating poetry that affirms the BFY message
In addition students participate in a program of community service projects such as the Anacostia River clean-up coordinated by the Earth Conservation Corps and Martin Luther King Day events coordinated by Howard Universitys Community Association and Project Change
Parents are provided skills training and information on a variety of issues relating to adolescent sexuality parental monitoring and parent-child communication

Detailed Description:
The Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Project or Building Futures for Youth is embarking on a pilot year in order to test the effectiveness of a revised childrens intervention for Grade 6 Although there was some evidence of a positive effect of the intervention for girls during Phase II there were no significant effects for boys In light of these findings BFY will spend the current project year piloting a revised classroom intervention as well as a newly adapted after-school intervention component
