The Buzz: Carolina Teen Health
We are also excited to announce the launch of our new, interactive youth website, CarolinaTeenHealth.org, in January 2011. This site will be a great resource to connect with teens and provide medically accurate and relevant information regarding sexual health and youth development. Two important features of the site will include a health center locator and a contraceptive comparison tool. The site will also feature content related to STDs, HIV, pregnancy, relationships, healthy living, abstinence, safe sex, communication skills, and ways that young people can get involved with efforts across the state. You can follow us on Facebook at Carolina Teen Health and Twitter at TeenHealthSC. You can also contact Zenica Chatman for more information. |
