Sex is part of life for many adolescents, and evidence suggests access to clinical care and education on safe sex, healthy relationships, and routine screenings should be as well. All young people have the right to comprehensive sexual health education that gives them the tools to make informed decisions about their health and well-being.
Promoting Adolescent Sexual Health and Safety (PASS) is a unique, community-based effort in Washington, DC, to create and evaluate a program for teens that is focused on sexual health and tailored to their experiences and needs. PASS is the result of a partnership between the Benning Terrace DC Housing Authority community, including participating teens, and the Urban Institute. PASS differs from many other programs because it uses a community-based participatory research approach to create equity between the research team and the community.
