PIP: JOICFP envoys observed a Profamilia one-day training session of adolescent peer health and sex educators in Santo Domingo. Recruited from their communities, the adolescent counselors were trained in an open, participatory atmosphere to teach 16-18 year old peers about sexual behavior and family planning. Participants were actively encouraged to ask questions and share information about sex. The program was established and launched to partially redress the lack of formal sex education for young people. Once trained, the youths organize activities in their communities. The Profamilia observers were particularly impressed by the teens' seriousness about the issues and their understanding of the need for adolescent health education.^ieng
