According to the author, “Programs need to understand that many youth lack the skills to practice safer sex.” (Kalmuss, Davidson, Cohall, Laraque, Cassell, 2003) I would target a specific area yet all age groups. I would visit the CDC websites and gain insight of the area whose have targeted bad sexual behavior. I would check with local health departments to get specific numbers as well. After gathering my information I would plan a seminar with schools, churches, and other places that would allow me to speak to the youth of the communities. I would ask for volunteers such as actresses, basketball players, football players and other people that get the children attention. We would also bring in the parents, family and friends the individual is surrounded by daily. We would allow the children and adults to be active and communicate.
