This infographic and data summary describe research and data about the sexual and reproductive health of youth who experience the justice system.
This resource helps youth-supporting professionals scan the landscape of sexual and reproductive health care providers for teens and youth.
This brief summarizes available research on seven dimensions of access to sexual and reproductive health care. Our goal is to inform youth-supporting professionals about the complexity of access for youth who have experienced the child welfare and/or justice systems, homelessness, and/or disconnection from school and work (i.e., opportunity youth).
Opportunity youth are young people ages 16 to 24 who are not working nor enrolled in school. They are a diverse group who come from different backgrounds, races/ethnicities, and communities and who have varying strengths, resources, and needs. This infographic highlights key findings from Activate’s analysis of the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) of opportunity youth using the National Survey of Family Growth.
This brief addresses the gap in information about the SRH of opportunity youth by conducting an original analysis of data from the 2011-2019 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG), the findings from which are presented in this brief.
This brief aims to provide child welfare practice professionals (e.g., caseworkers) information about the social determinants that influence young peoples’ sexual and reproductive health and offer them guidance on incorporating this knowledge in daily practice.
These tips cover a range of conditions that may arise when talking to youth about teen pregnancy prevention.
