Why a ReCAPP web site? ReCAPP provides practical tools and information to effectively reduce sexual risk-taking behaviors. Teachers and Health Educators will find up-to-date, evaluated programming materials to help with their work with teens. We want to serve as a bridge between front line educators and the researchers who are analyzing how educational and youth development programs can best make an impact on the rate of teen pregnancy. We want to help make your efforts to reduce teen pregnancy as effective as possible.

Please give us feedback on the web site. What do you like? How can we serve you better? What information do you want? Do you want to talk to experts in the field? Do you want to talk to each other? Is the web site user-friendly? We urge you to respond and help us build the best possible web site for your needs.
