Who Should Take This Course

This course is designed for community health workers and community outreach/education staff. Other staff who work with teens and young adult clients, or who need an overview of contraception, will benefit.

Although it stands alone, this course may be more impactful if learners take the "Working With Teens to Prevent Pregnancy: Starting the Conversation" course first.

Objectives

At the end of this program, the CHW will be able to:

• Discuss ways to start a conversation about contraceptives
• List different kinds of contraceptives
• Explain where to go for more information about contraceptives
