Before, Between and Beyond Pregnancy
Before, Between and Beyond Pregnancy is designed to be a "one stop" resource for clinicians and others who want to learn more about preconception health, its history, the evidence supporting it and strategies for incorporating relevant content into daily clinical practice. It includes free CME opportunities, access to key articles, clinical guidance, and news of special interest to providers. Before, Between and Beyond was created as a key component of the national Preconception Health and Healthcare Initiative, a public-private partnership which engages the CDC, HRSA, and other government agencies, nonprofit organizations, professional organizations and hundreds of individuals.

National Campaign Highlights | |
Comparatively Speaking.
Whither Americans and unplanned pregnancy? It goes something like this: Americans underestimate the percentage of pregnancies in the U.S. that are unplanned; they mistakenly view unplanned pregnancy as primarily a problem for teens; they strongly favor the goal of reducing unplanned pregnancies; and they view unplanned pregnancy as important compared to other pressing issues.
The latest in our monthly Survey Says series has all the details. Find it here and feel free to download the separate images to use in presentations or social media.
From the Department of Friendly Reminders.
Families Talking Together (FTT) is a program designed to give parents the skills they need to effectively talk to their children about sex and contraception. The program-developed by Dr. Vincent Guilamo-Ramos at New York University's Silver School of Social Work, Center for Latino Adolescent and Family Health-was developed specifically for Latino and African-American families for delivery in both a health care setting and a community-based setting.
Recently the U.S. Department of Health and Human services officially added FTT and three other programs to its list of 35 interventions with evidence of success in helping teens delay sex, improve contraceptive use, and/or avoid teen pregnancy and childbearing.

Improved Online Lessons for College Students.
Perhaps you know that we offer three free online lessons that help college students learn about and take action to prevent unplanned pregnancy until they have reached their educational goals. You also may be aware that the lessons have been found to be effective at improving students' knowledge, attitudes, and behavioral intent when it comes to preventing unplanned pregnancy. Now it's easier than ever to use them in first-year experience, college success, or a variety of other settings.
