resources on our Web site:

1. Youth Issues Paper 4 - Reaching Out-of-School Youth with Re-
productive Health and HIV Information and Services - is now
available. This paper explores different populations of out-of-
school youth, examines the link between schooling and safer sex-
ual behaviors, and presents programs that work with young people
who do not or cannot attend formal schools. Four case studies
detailing programs working with mainstream and marginalized
youth are also included. Read this paper at:

cies from more than 40 countries. The Web site also contains
