ETR Associates Living Pamphlet Series Wins 2010 Web Health Awards

ETR Associates and Answer today launched three new Living Pamphlets that combine educational print pamphlets with free online videos, discussion guides and activity sheets.

Focused on teen health issues, the pamphlet series was developed in partnership with teen writers from Answer's Sex, Etc., project and ETR Associates' award-winning product development group. The three Living Pamphlets are titled Sex Myths, Relationship Check: Healthy or Un? and Tech Confidential: What to Know Before You Hit Send. The videos were produced in Northern California by ETR Associates and an independent production company whose staff has worked extensively with MTV Networks.

"We were excited to collaborate with ETR on this project," said Lesley Eicher, Director of Education and Special Projects at Answer. "Our writers received invaluable experience working with ETR's editorial team." The teens write for Sex, Etc., magazine and website, both of which are by teens, for teens, and focus on improving teen sexual health throughout the United States.

ETR Associates' Publisher Laurie Searson stated that, "Working with Answer's Sex, Etc., staff gives our new line of Living Pamphlets great authenticity from the viewpoint of today's teenagers. We feel that the finished products are outstanding learning tools for schools all over the country."
