This $302,275.00 Formula Grant was awarded by the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families on October 1, 2024 to the Alabama Department of Public Health under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Personal Responsibility Education Program (CFDA 93.092). The grant will fund the implementation of evidence-based sexual health education curricula and youth development programs through partnerships with local health departments, schools, and community organizations across Alabama. The goal is to educate youth aged 10-19 and pregnant/parenting youth under 21 on abstinence and contraception to prevent pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, and HIV/AIDS, while also promoting broader youth development through adulthood preparation subjects. The Alabama Department of Public Health, as the grant recipient, has the capacity to effectively deliver these critical public health services to the target population through its established network of local partnerships.
