The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Office of Adolescent Health (OAH) is committed to improving the health and well-being of adolescents to enable them to become healthy, productive adults. A key component of OAH's mission is to support and evaluate evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention (TPP) programs. In 2010, the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health, with its community partners Identity Inc. and Mary's Center, were funded through OAH's Tier 2 funding mechanism for implementing and evaluating new and innovative programs. The purpose of the project was to implement and evaluate the after school program, Be Yourself/Sé Tú Mismo, across twelve schools in Maryland to reduce risky sexual behaviors among a growing Latino youth population.
