Project Description:
This budget issue request is for a pregnancy prevention media campaign targetting teens 9-14 years of age and their parents. This campaign called, South Florida T.E.E.N. (Teen Education for Every Nationality) Vision, will utilize innovative television, radio, print, billboard and theatre advertising, as well as an educational curriculm and community involvement program. The mission of the media campaign is to prevent unwanted adolescent pregnancies through public awareness of the emotional, financial, and social costs of adolescent pregnancy; educational programs promoting responsible choices; advocacy of prevention. Several regional media partners are willing to reduce advertising costs and provide significant in-kind contributions. South Florida T.E.E.N. Vision will supplement the education, employment and creative arts components of seven comprehensive and outreach teen pregnancy prevention programs reaching 2,500 teens in Broward, Dade and Palm Beach Counties. Teen, parent and community groups will be directly involved in the leadership and direction of this campaign. The National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy and the Ounce of Prevention Fund of Florida will provide technical support and the benefit of their respective media and communication materials.
Services Provided/Benefit to State:
Through the educational, employment and creative arts components of seven privately and publicly funded comprehensive teen pregnancy prevention and outreach programs, a media campaign will be designed and implemented to increase public awareness and prevent unintended teen pregnancy; delay the onset of sexual activity; descrease the contracting and spreading of sexually transmitted infections and HIV/AIDS; increase academic success and employability skills and provide employment for South Florida teens. As a result, the state of Florida will save significant revenues since more than 50% of the states' WAGES funds are spent in three counties for women who did not finish high school and were teen mothers. Teens, parents and community leaders will come together to design and promote the teen pregnancy prevention messages developed by the media campaign.
Measurable Outcome Anticipated:
South Florida T.E.E.N. Vision will provide the following measurable outomes within Broward, Dade and Palm Beach Counties: increase the number of male and female program participants that abstain from, or delay sexual activity; reduce the teen birth rate; decrease the teen incidents of sexually transmitted infections and HIV/AIDS: increase academic amd employability skills among the program participants, and increase the public's awareness of the emotional, financial, and social costs of adolescent pregnancy.
