Researchers implemented<br>and evaluated the Be Proud! Be Responsible! curriculum with a small group of seven minority girls ages<br>13 to 18 who were sexually inexperienced during a four-week summer program at a Boys and Girls Club.<br>Lessons learned from our program include that educators should first take steps to establish rapport prior<br>to program implementation, secondly, there should be an increased number of program sessions than pres-<br>ently in the curriculum and thirdly, grouping participants into cohorts of smaller age range may be more<br>conducive to the educational process.</p>}, number={4}, journal={American Journal of Health Studies}, author={Huelskamp, Amelia C. and Catalano, Hannah P.}, year={2018}, month={Oct.} }
