In response to the growing need for accessible, science-based sexual health education, 好色先生TV鈥檚 Center for Risk Perception and Communication is making two of its available at no cost to both individuals and organizations and for one year.

鈥淪eventeen Days鈥� and the newly released intervention 鈥淵our Move鈥� are two different versions of the same sexual educational program targeted at adolescent girls ages 14鈥�19. 鈥淪eventeen Days鈥� is tailored toward individuals, while 鈥淵our Move鈥� is designed to be used in a group or classroom setting.

鈥淎dolescent girls remain at elevated risk for unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, yet often lack access to evidence-based guidance,鈥� said Julie Downs, professor in the Department of Social and Decision Sciences and associate dean of research at the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences. 鈥淭hese programs address this need through behavioral science and relatable storytelling, empowering teens to make informed choices consistent with their own values and goals.鈥�

Each program follows a cinematic ensemble story told through multiple perspectives that reflect decisions young people face in relationships in the real world.

鈥淲hat really resonates with teens is that they get to choose their point of view by following different characters and seeing the story unfold from those perspectives,鈥� said Downs. 鈥淲e found that when girls talk about sex, they aren't really thinking about the risk, but they report feeling like they鈥檙e in a situation where one thing leads to another, and things just happen. What we want them to think about is, well okay, it doesn鈥檛 have to go like that.鈥�

Rehearsing Real-Life Scenarios Makes a Big Difference

Both 鈥淪eventeen Days鈥� and 鈥淵our Move鈥� offer adolescent girls an interactive format that gives them the chance to play through the outcomes of six different vignettes. 聽Topics covered include contraception, sexually transmitted infections and anatomy.

Each program incorporates choice points, cognitive rehearsal and risk-reduction strategies to promote safer sexual behaviors. This allows teens to practice healthy decision-making skills.

鈥淲e want to teach girls to think in advance about what they actually want,鈥� said Downs. 鈥淎nd then, if what they want is not the direction things are going, we give them a toolbox of ways to say 鈥楴o.鈥欌��

These strategies may sound simple, but shows that evidence-based, medically accurate and developmentally appropriate sexual health resources lead to a reduction in pregnancies and an increase in abstinence, benefitting individuals and public health.

鈥淲hile licensing costs for our programs have been nominal, our center made the decision to offer the programs for free throughout 2026,鈥� said Downs. 鈥淲e are living in a fast-changing environment and realize how precarious funding for these kinds of programs can be.鈥澛�
