Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, D, E
Feedback:
Successful strategies for preventing adolescent pregnancy vary from responsible sexual behavior education, which includes abstinence education, to improved contraceptive counseling and confidential reproductive services, but not mandated religious education on sex practices.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
Integrating the goals of the school (not those of the students) with those of the prevention program, assessing the needs and interests of the group carefully before (not after) the selection of any program, and designing programs that are behavior focused rather than knowledge based are important principles to use in education programs.
