Abstract: System-involved youth experience disproportionately high rates of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. Although many evidence-based sexual health programs exist, few have been evaluated among system-involved youth. We aimed to assess the impact of two evidence-based programs (Making Proud Choices! and Be Proud! Be Responsible!) among this population, and to explore whether impacts differed by juvenile justice (JJ) and foster care (FC) settings.
