and how to create culturally relevant programs. It discusses
barriers to health care and arts programs that promote
young people's sexual health. Stories by youth of color
underscore the importance of the Rights. Respect. Responsibility.® paradigm,
and a lesson plan provides opportunities for young
people to improve communication skills related
to sexual risk
reduction. Finally, this issue provides links to
national and online resources. [html]
