Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Youth served and recruited will be limited to 9th graders from health classrooms at the NPS sites participating in this program who do not have severe cognitive, mental, or behavioral impairments. Students with an Individual Education Plan (IEP) who are in a restricted placement due to such issues will not be able to participate in the program as they will not be a part of the mainstream classrooms where the program will take place. Students with an IEP who are placed in regular classroom settings (i.e., mainstreamed) will be included in the program.
  • New Jersey law only requires passive parental consent to be obtained, using a written notice about the evaluation provided to students to bring home with an option for parents to sign the notice to opt their child/student out of the evaluation. If parents wish to opt their child/student out of the evaluation, the child will still receive the program because it is the Newark Board of Education-approved sexual education curriculum treatment group health classes. When the Educator goes back to the classroom to pre-survey, they will collect any 'opt-out' notices and survey only those students whose parents have not elected to 'opt-out' their child.
  • Ineligible students include students with IEP who are in a restricted placement and students that bring back 'opt-out' written notices. Since we are using the same form for treatment and control schools (making it unclear to parents what group their child is in), we do not expect differences in opt-out rates between treatment and control schools.
