The University is starting the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Initiative, a five-year educational program in the St. Louis region designed to educate teens currently in foster care about safe sex; including pregnancy prevention, contraception and prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The program will target approximately 600 teenage girls still in or “aging out” of foster care.
