EmpowHer is Prevention Curriculum for Youth Ages 10-15 Years.

Inclusion Criteria: Youth who are 10 -15 years of age at the start of the study and residing in Detroit, Outer-Wayne County or geographically similar areas at the time of enrollment will be eligible to participate in the study. Exclusion Criteria: Participants who are currently utilizing other services from Alternatives For Girls (AFG), children of AFG staff and youth participating in other sexual health education programs will not be eligible to participate and will be wait-listed until they are no longer receiving other services from AFG (i.e., after-school programs, summer day camps, mentoring, youth leadership programs, and shelter services). These services are unrelated to the study/sexual health education and do not include EmpowHer or Sassy Science. If siblings were to be enrolled, one would be randomly assigned, and the rest would be allowed to participate in the same group as the study sibling but not counted in the evaluation. This is to prevent possible contamination between conditions.
