New publications from YouthNet
------------------------------
 
The YouthNet Program, coordinated by Family Health International, 
announces the publication of two new YouthLens research briefs 
and a programmatic tool for working with the private sector.
 
1. YouthLens No. 8 - Abstinence and Delayed Sexual Initiation - 
is now available. 
 
Promoting abstinence is an important strategy that can help delay 
sexual activity, but complementary messages are needed for those 
who are sexually active. This research brief is available as

2. YouthLens No. 9 - Information and Communications Technology - 
has been published. 
 
Technology resources increasingly link professionals working with 
reproductive health and HIV prevention programs in developing 
countries. These same resources - e-mail, CD-ROMs, listservs, the 
Internet, radio, and television - hold great promise for reaching 
youth as well. Read about these resources and how they can be ap-
plied to youth health issues (Adobe PDF file 4 pp.- 146 kB) at:

3. Private-Sector Assessment Tool. 
 
This handbook serves as a guide for conducting a technical as-
sessment of the potential for private-sector youth reproductive 
health interventions. You can access this handbook online as
