Abstract
In Mexico, youth face difficulties in obtaining reliable information on sex education and family planning through existing community programs. Two alternative strategies to provide these services are being tested in poor urban areas of Monterrey. In one experimental area, Integrated Youth Centers were established, which provide sex education and family planning services as well as counseling, academic tutoring, and recreational activities. In another area, trained young adults and community counselors work through informal networks to provide sex education and family planning information. Both utilization and the cost of these services are examined in the context of plans for expanding coverage in Mexico-U.S. border areas.Keywords: Adolescent Pregnancy; Adolescents; Adolescents, Female; Adolescents, Male; Age Factors; Americas; Central America; Clinic Activities; Comparative Studies; Counseling; Demographic Factors; Developed Countries; Developing Countries; Education; Family Planning; Family Planning Program Evaluation; Family Planning Programs; Fertility; Integrated Programs; Latin America; Mexico; North America; Organization And Administration; Pilot Projects; Population; Population Characteristics; Population Dynamics; Program Activities; Programs; Reproductive Behavior; Research Methodology; Research Report; Sex Education; Studies; Urban Population; Youth
