Why are we presenting this information?
We chose the age range (15-19 years old) since it most closely matches the ages for high school students (14-18 years old). Although the primary focus of PREP is to help young people make informed decisions about pregnancy and safe sex[1], we believe that through comprehensive sex education, WA PREP is supporting youth in developing healthy relationships, preventing partner violence, increasing caregiver child communication and creating safe and inclusive environments across Washington.
