INTRODUCTIONAdressing Teen Pregnancy in Pittsburg,
California
In more recent years, there has been an effort in my
community to address teen pregnancy due to its growing rates.
Over the years teen pregnancy rates have continued to rise in
Contra Costa County as well as surrounding counties.
Unfortanately, the town I come from is a small town within
Contra Costa County so resources are limited. In order to
address teen pregnancy there needs to be easier access to

resources to prevent teen pregnancy from occurring. Teen
pregnancy can lead to a number of different problems such as
low socioeconomic status, greater chance of contracting a
sexually transmitted infection (STIs), and more likely to
experience depression and psychological distress (County
Health Rankings & Roadmaps, 2018). If there was easier access
to resources that provided teens with proper sexual education
and a safe place to ask questions or address their concerns there
is a possibility that the rates of teen pregnancy would begin to
decrease.
PART 1: SCOPE AND CONSEQUENCESAdressing Teen
Pregnancy in Pittsburg, California
Teen pregnancy is an issue that impacts multiple areas of a
teens life. There are physical health, educational, and economic
consequences that can come from teen pregnancy. Taking part
in risky sexual behaviors can cause teens to experience a
number of different health problems. Teen girls are more likely
to contract STIs and experience conditions such as eclampsia
during pregnancy or preterm delivery (County Health Rankings
& Roadmaps, 2018). If health classes were provided and easier
to access there is a possibllity that these type of health issues
could be avoided amongst the teenage population. Teens are
also likely to experience educational and economic challenges
when becoming pregnant. Research has shown that teens who
become pregnant at a young age are more likely to not finish
high school which can lead to low socioeconomic status and
having to rely on public assistance to survive (County Health
Rankings & Roadmaps, 2018). The Pittsburg school district
offers some sexual education but the classes that are provided
are only held for a short period of time. In order to cover the
many topics related to sexual activity there needs to be a change
in how the school district provides sex education. Providing
sexual education and other classes that make teens aware of
their behaviors could be beneficial to reducing teen pregnancy.
Part of the problem that has led to teen pregnancy is that the

youth are not getting the sexual education that they need before
it is too late. My main goal for this topic of social change is to
bring more awareness by providing easier access to resources
that will provide teens with proper education. These resources
can include classes, assemblies, and support groups so that
teens have a wide variety of ways to receive help and have their
needs met. With more access to resources and proper education
teens will have the necessary information to make better
decisions and not take part in risky sexual behaviors. Setting up
programs and classes that address youth sexual activity within
the community is the first step to preventing more cases of teen
pregnancy.

INTRODUCTIONSubstance Use In Colonial Heights, Virginia
This project will discuss the Drug Epidemic that is affecting the
community, especially the youth in the community. Substance
Use Disorder is a disease that is affecting all communities near
and far. Drug use involves the use of substances ranging from
alcohol, tobacco, stimulants opiates, opioids, and marijuana.
These substances impact individuals of various ages, gender,
ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. This includes the
overachiever who has to use prescription medication to manage
the daily stressors, the youth that needs alcohol to get up and
attend school, the adolescent that smokes marijuana or takes
pills to be accepted by their friends, and the athlete that

requires pain medication to manage injuries that come with
playing sports. This project will address the issues of Substance
Use in the community, current measures that have been utilized,
and prevention positively affect this issue.
PART 1: SCOPE AND CONSEQUENCES[Insert Title of Social
The target problem for this community is the effects of
substance use on the community, specifically the youth in the
community. Substance use disorder is a disease that begins
innocently in individuals during the adolescent years. The
statistical rate for youth in Virginia that are participating in
binge drinking is 6%. The National average for alcohol
dependence for for individuals 12 and over is 6.7%, which is
slightly higher when compared with Virginia’s average of
6.49%. Locally, the rate for alcohol dependence is 5.19%. That
is almost 70,000 youth between the age of 12-17 that abuse
alcohol in this region. The rates for illicit drug use is
expressively higher nationally and for the State of Virginia, at
9.27% and 7.71% respectively. The rate for illicit drugs as it
relates to the community is 7.03%. That is about 95,000 people
in the area 12 and over that abuse drugs. The rates for marijuana
use for individuals 12 and over are 12.34% nationally, 9.77%
for the state of Virginia, and 9.79% for the region that includes
this community. Finally, prescription drug use is highest in the
region that includes this community at 5.24%. Virginia’s rate is
4.58% compared to the national rate of 4.51%. Based on these
rates for substance use, it is important that awareness be
provided to the community, especially the youth and young
adult to bring attention to the effects of substance use on the
developing minds of our adoloescents. Moveover, it is vital to
teach how these early practices can lead to negative lifelong
habits. The goal of this portfolio is to introduce awareness to
the youth on the dangers of substance use and how its
destructive nature to the individual.

Introduction

INTRODUCTIONSex Trafficking in Phoenix, Arizona
Sex trafficking is the exploitation of any person by means of
sexual exchange by way of transporting them from one place to
another against their will. The victim is coerced and recruited
by a trafficker in a variety of ways, provided for in some small
way, transported to a different location, harbored against their
will and then made to give sexual favors to the trafficker’s
clients. For the victims who are not rescued or who do not
escape, they are trapped in sexual slavery. They are provided
food, clothing and many times travel by force of their
traffickers, even abroad, to fulfill the requests of the clients
they serve. Victims are targeted when in distress, having low
self-esteem, being a run-away or just being naive to
manipulation. Both boys and girls are victims of this global
health crises with girls entering the trade, generally, at 12-
years-old and boys as young as 11-years-old, generally (U.S.
Department of Justice, National Center for Missing and
Exploited Children, United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime,
n.d.).
PART 1: SCOPE AND CONSEQUENCES[Insert Title of Social
I will be focusing on the target health problem of sex trafficking
in Phoenix, AZ. Sex trafficking is most prevalent in the United
States (Fortune, 2020), contributing to a billion dollar industry
(Niethammer, C., 2020) and is the second largest industry in the
world. Arizona is a hotspot for traffickers because of an ideal
climate, many major sporting attractions that make maneuvering

with victims seemingly undetectable and connection to five
different U.S. borders not including Mexico, leaving traffickers
and their victims various points of entry and escape.
The Polaris Project (2020), a non-profit that operates the
National Human Trafficking Hotline, details there are three top
trafficking tiers which are sex trafficking, labor trafficking and
sex and labor trafficking. Labour trafficking, as you can
imagine, is when a trafficker lures an unassuming victim to
prospects of a better life through employment, details of which
are never true, only to hold onto the victims credentials so they
cannot escape once arrived. Victims are enslaved, forced to
work under illegal conditions, under paid or not paid at all,
beaten, raped and many times killed for fear from the trafficker
of revealing the operation. Of these three tiers, there has been a
25% increase in cases from 2017 to 2018. There have been
23,078 survivors identified, 10,949 human trafficking cases,
5,859 potential traffickers and 1,905 suspicious businesses. A
screening tool called QYIT (Quick Youth Indicators for
Trafficking) was validated (Children and Youth Services
Review, 2019) and found that homeless youth were the most
susceptible to become trafficked. For an estimated year and a
half, 307 participants were assessed with results being 66.7%
(20) had been sex trafficked, 46.7% had been labor trafficked
and 16.7% had experienced both forms of trafficking (Children
and Youth Services Review, 2019). Completely thorough
estimates of trafficking victims cannot be known because of the
unscrupulous nature of the crime (Farrell, McDevitt, & Fahy,
2010; Farrell & Pfeffer, 2014; Farrell & Reichert, 2017; US
Department of State, 2002, US Department of State, 2006).
All forms of trafficking are heinous, however, child sex
trafficking is especially horrific for obvious reasons and
therefore has been my focus. There are endless mental and
physical consequences in all of these circumstances
(Greenbaum, J., & Bodrick, N., 2017) and they must be
vindicated by reform. In Arizona specifically, the local
government agencies and non-profit organizations have taken a

stand to become a model for the rest of the country to stand,
fight and disband all forms of trafficking. These offices make a
loud voice to be heard throughout the state that trafficking will
not be tolerated here and for that I am grateful. There is a task
force comprised of police, social workers, public agencies and
other resources that make up a coalition against trafficking in
Arizona as a preventative measure, they can be found here:
https://www.phoenix.gov/district2site/Documents/City%20of%2
0Phoenix%20COMPASS%20Plan.pdf. Overall, human slavery
never ended, it just sounds different. Whether labour or sex or
both, people are not free and are living their days in misery and
grief. Preventative measures will only help those in need if it is
a collective effort. Education on what the signs are, what
numbers to call, how to help and how to stay vigilant is a great
start of fighting this global problem.
