Grill Peter

Preliminary results from a school-based peer education program on sexual health for high school students are discussed in this article. The young people's responses to the participants are described. Qualitative data were gathered over the course of a semester in two waves of participants (N 14 4 schools) through participant observations of program activities, in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, focus groups with youth participants (N 14 62 peer educators and 60 ninth graders), and brief surveys of youth participants (N 14 678). Information assortment and examination were directed by grounded hypothesis approach. The Adolescent Counteraction Training System (Youngster Enthusiasm) was imitated in secondary schools in North Carolina while keeping up with model loyalty. All of the program's "inputs" and five fundamental model components were utilized. The main change that was made was putting the entire program into action. Utilizing the same amount of instructional time, but only for half of the school year as opposed to the entire year.
