ETR was founded with a mission to effectively prevent high-risk sexual behaviors and their associated unwanted outcomes - sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV/AIDS - among youth and young adults. Work in this area is driven by developing evidence based interventions, translating research to practice including adaptations to better serve the most affected groups, providing state of the art effective capacity building, training and TA, and professional development, and working on prevention policies in schools and alternative settings with a focus with underserved and minority populations. Our strategy to ensure that teens and young adults have access to the highest quality prevention information and programs remains simple and reasoned: promote what works, what is culturally appropriate, and what is informed by scientific theories of behavior change.
