Additional Description

Introduction [excerpt]

This research involves my participation in a pregnancy prevention program to explore the sources from which young people receive and integrate information about sexuality into their lives as a factor in decision making and behavioral choices. This study points out the need for attention to group process and individual agency in interventions aimed at adolescents. I review previous studies and relevant theory, this study;'s methodology, and my findings. I conclude with recommendations for future research, which include an emphasis on youth-centered models and group communication processes.
