This systematic review provides a comprehensive, updated assessment of programs with evidence of effectiveness in reducing teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), or associated sexual risk behaviors. A total of 88 studies conducted since the late 1980s met the review criteria for study quality, and more than two dozen teen pregnancy and STI prevention programs showed evidence of effectiveness.
