Working with Diverse Communities Update

Greetings from JSI!

Over the past few months, we have been working with two grantees to conduct Root Cause Analysis (RCA) as a means for engaging with new community partners, and building a broader, more diverse local constituency for teen pregnancy prevention. In addition, we are writing case studies to capture ways grantees have used the RCA process in their communities. Please contact us if you have a story to share!

If you are interested in technical assistance related to conducting a Root Cause Analysis, or doing follow-up planning for one you have already done, please contact JSI.

An overview of the RCA process is provided in our tool, Conducting a Root Cause Analysis and Action Planning Process.
