From the Paper:

"The establishment of specific demographics of the educational program plan is just the primary step towards its development. In order to make the program an effective one, project planning should also involve methods in which active participation will be elicited as the program progresses to its focal point--informing the participants about responsible sexual behavior and HIV/AIDS infection among adolescents. In addition to addressing HIV/AIDS infection, it is also worthwhile to note that inextricably linked with this health concern is the prevalence of substance abuse and "suicidal ideation" among adolescents who practice irresponsible sexual behavior (Kurtz, 2005:S44)."
