Description
Funded by the HHS Personal Responsibility Education Innovation Strategies Program (PREIS), In the Know (ITK) combines existing, group-based, in-person or virtual comprehensive sexual health education with wraparound digital technologies. This enables reinforcement of key messages and skills while providing real-time information and referrals to local services and resources. In partnership with Philip R. Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies at the University of California, San Francisco and Fresno Economic Opportunity Commission (EOC), the team implements youth-centered health design methodology to develop curriculum and digital wraparound technologies that focus on three main areas: sexual health and contraceptive use, healthy relationships, and educational and career success.
