Editor's Notes

  1. “Socioeconomic status is one area where cell phone ownership rates vary, with teens from lower income families less likely to own a mobile phone. More than half (59%) of teens in households earning less than $30,000 annually have a cell phone, while more than three quarters of teens from wealthier families own one. ” http://pewinternet.org/Reports/2010/Social-Media-and-Young-Adults/Part-2.aspx?view=all#

  4. No Phone Zone is a programme developed by Oprah Winfrey and released on March 6, 2010, about how to teach people not to talk or text on their cell phone while they are driving. The program was shown at the beginning and end of The Oprah Winfrey Show and was sponsored by Liberty Mutual and Sprint . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Phone_Zone http://www.oprah.com/oprahradio/Teen-Drivers Today's teenagers are masters at high-tech multitasking, juggling cell phones, text messaging, online chatting and more. While managing the different forms of communication may be hip, Seventeen magazine's Ann Shoket says the trend does not mix with driving. Ann talks with Gayle about a recent AAA/ Seventeen survey that shows an increasing number of teens multitasking and engaging in other distracting behavior while behind the wheel. According to the survey of 1,000 teens, 46 percent text messaged while driving, 51 percent talked on the phone while driving, 58 percent drove with friends in the car and 40 percent have exceeded the speed limit by 10 miles per hour. "It used to be that everybody was worried about driving under the influence," Ann says. "Now, everyone has to worry about driving while distracted. When you combine a cell phone—whether you are talking or texting—with driving, it is a recipe for disaster." Preventing distracted driving deaths starts at home and Ann says that means parents need to reiterate good driving habits. "If parents are giving their teens the responsibility of driving a car, then parents have to give their teens the responsibility of enforcing the rules of the road," she says. Ann shares advice for teen drivers to follow when behind the wheel: Sign a safe driving contract. Wear a seatbelt. Avoid changing the radio. Do not talk on your cell phone. Do not text message. Allow a maximum of one teen passenger in the car. Today's teenagers are masters at high-tech multitasking, juggling cell phones, text messaging, online chatting and more.

  5. Teens missing message on road texting risk By Larry Copeland, USA TODAY Many teens view texting while driving as less risky than drunken driving despite a sustained campaign against texting behind the wheel and research indicating it's as dangerous as drinking and driving, a new survey for State Farm insurance company finds. A much higher percentage of teens ages 14 to 17 strongly agree that drunken driving could cause a fatal crash than texting could, the survey by Harris Interactive found. More teens also believe that drunken driving is likelier than texting to cause a crash and lead to a ticket and arrest. "We're doing everything possible to get the message out to teens that driving while talking or texting on a cellphone is not worth the risk," says Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood , who convenes a second summit on distracted driving Tuesday in Washington, D.C. "Teen drivers are some of the must vulnerable drivers on the road due to inexperience, and adding cellphones to the mix only compounds the dangers," LaHood says. The survey comes after more than two years of a national campaign against distracted driving, especially texting. LaHood has made it a signature issue of his tenure, talk show host Oprah Winfrey regularly urges her millions of viewers not to do it, and 30 states have banned it, including 10 this year. Yet there remains "a real awareness gap around the dangers of distracted driving, and that's what we heard in this survey," says Laurette Stiles, State Farm's vice president of strategic resources. "The risks and the dangers are not well understood by teens. I believe that one of the reasons is that they're not well understood by parents, either." A University of Utah study found that cellphone use caused distractions for motorists as serious as driving with a blood-alcohol content of 0.08%, the legal definition of driving while intoxicated. The State Farm survey highlights a reality of life among many teens: Staying connected is vitally important to them, and maintaining that connection — even when they're driving — overrides safety warnings from driver's education instructors, celebrities and even parents. Just ask Connor Sampson, 18, of Normal, Ill., who rear-ended another car in October while sending a text message to a friend. "It's (staying connected) very important, probably more important than it should be," says Sampson, a senior at University High School in Normal. "My parents were very serious about me not texting and driving. But when you text somebody, if they don't respond in five minutes, you start to wonder what happened, what's wrong." Although teens might not yet fully grasp the risks of road texting, the focus on distracted driving is making many motorists more wary. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety says 52% of drivers in its new survey feel less safe than they did five years ago — a 17-percentage-point increase since the same time last year; 40% of these drivers cited cellphones/texting/distracted drivers as the biggest reason they feel unsafe.

Computer animated vignettes are used to reach a young audience through the use of slang and focused subject matter. HHPC used focus groups, and teens provided feedback on the videos. Project STAY plans to continue outreach in high schools and community based organizations as well as increase the off-site screenings to 20 different venues. Highlights/Outcomes/Lessons Learned: Teen feedback is essential for a product that teens will actually respond to. Recommendations from youth for future vignettes included: Show the main character at the clinic and follow the actual process of testing and counseling Address specific questions (ie transmission methods, STI treatment) between two friends and one educates the other by sharing what they learned from a Project STAY counselor who visited their school

  10. PASSHEN! Peers Advocating Safety and Sexual Health Education Now! (SexTech Example) URL: http:// www.ci.berkeley.ca.us/ContentDisplay.aspx?id =17724 What: PASSHEN is a peer lead education group that started about 12 years with 10-12 graders concerned about the health of their school and communities. The program is lead by the division of public health in Berkeley, California. The program annually recruits 15 peer educators that are in 10th, 11th, or 12th grade, trains them, and organizes retreats and meetings. These peer educators are responsible for designing curriculums, presentations, and community outreach. This is effective because the peers lead the workshops alone, and they do all of the teaching. Highlights/Outcomes/Lessons Learned: Youth get a lot out of being peer educators (knowledge, presentation/public speaking skills, class credits) Students are sometimes more comfortable asking questions to another teen.
