FOCUS on Young Adults With the explosion in the number of young people around the globe, countries are seeking guidance in effective strategies for reproductive health. To guide the U.S. Agency for International Development and Pathfinder International in this work, EDC has produced monographs summarizing the research on school-based and social marketing strategies. EDC is also creating strategic planning tools for program design and a Web-accessible database of effective strategies in many settings. EDC also conducted a field review of a Monitoring and Evaluation Guide for Young Adult Reproductive Health Programs in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, and edited and designed the Guide. In addition, EDC drafted a strategic assessment tool and begun to develop a Web-based database to provide access to information and tools for creating effective programs that address young adult reproductive health issues.
