The Surgeon General's Call to Action to Promote Sexual Health and Responsible Sexual Behavior
Office of the Surgeon General (US); Office of Population Affairs (US).
Excerpt
This Call to Action provides an evidence based foundation for developing a public health approach to sexual health and responsible sexual behavior. It identifies the problems and then discusses risk and protective factors. Numerous intervention models that have been evaluated and shown to be effective, as well as some that are promising but not yet adequately evaluated, are also presented. The last step, implementation of effective interventions, will depend heavily on individual communities and their members.
