Colorado Teen Pregnancy Prevention Action Guide
How to Use?
The Teen Pregnancy Action Guide is intended to help local health agencies and community partners develop evidence-based Specific Measurable Achievable Realistic Time-framed (SMART) goals and good objectives. This guide identifies strategies and action steps to prevent teen pregnancy in Colorado.
Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Action Guides are divided into four (4) sections:
- “How to Use” – includes special instructions;
- “What’s at Stake” – contains background information & data;
- “What Works” – outlines best practices or promising strategies;
- “Resources and Tools” – lists resources and tools to help prevent teen pregnancy and write SMART objectives.
MCH consultants are available to provide technical assistance to incorporate Action Guide information into local MCH operational plan and consult on specific content material. To contact an MCH consultant about this Action Guide call Anne-Marie Braga, Director of Adolescent Health Initiatives for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment at 303-692-2946.
