Preventing Unintended Pregnancy Among Adolescents: Using mHealth to Promote a...YTH
Health-E You/Salud iTu is an mHealth contraceptive decision support tool for adolescent girls. Through an interactive, youth-centered approach, the App provides accurate information (that can be updated in real-time), individually tailored feedback/messages, and a user-driven experience. Based on the youth’s preferences, and experiences, the App provides contraceptive recommendation(s) while also presenting the youth with all of the possible options including videos of providers and youth. Youth can then share information from the App with their provider to help them communicate their needs, interests and questions. In turn, the provider is better prepared for the face-to-face encounter. Pilot testing shows it is feasible to implement, acceptable to adolescents and providers; improves health knowledge; and visit quality. It is being evaluated at 14 school-based health centers using a longitudinal, cluster randomized control trial research design.

Research tells us about the importance of friendships for adolescents. However many adolescent boys struggle to make and keep close friends. The HHS Office of Adolescent Health (OAH) and the federal Interagency Working Group on Youth Programs have developed a new video, “The Crisis of Connection for Adolescent Boys,” which underscores this struggle to connect and provides guidance on how to foster supportive friendships among adolescent boys. This is the first in a new TAG Talks video series created as part of the Adolescent Health: Think, Act, Grow® (TAG) call to action and is accompanied by discussion guides for professionals and families and additional resources.

HFG Project Brief - Improving Health Finance and Governance Expands Access to...HFG Project
A functional health system delivers the quality health care people need, where they need it, at
prices they can afford. The United States Agency for International Development’s Health Finance
and Governance (HFG) Project collaborates with partners in lower middle-income countries to
increase their domestic resources for health, manage those precious resources more effectively,
and make wise purchasing decisions. Effective health finance is linked closely to robust health
governance. When the governance of the health sector and its resources is weak, then investments
in technical areas are far less likely to achieve their intended results or yield better health
outcomes. Strong health governance ensures that health sector resources and funds achieve their
goals. Building more financial sustainability into health services, such as HIV and AIDS programs,
helps ensure that more people can get the health care they need to lead productive lives.
Active in more than 25 countries, USAID’s HFG Project partners with health stakeholders to
protect families from catastrophic health care costs, expand access to priority services – such as
maternal and child health care – and ensure equitable population coverage. These three pillars are
at the crux of the global movement for Universal Health Coverage (UHC).

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.
