Resources: ARSHEP

PRCH's Adolescent Reproductive and Sexual Health Education Project (ARSHEP) trains a select group of physicians to give free educational sessions to other providers about the best practices for adolescent reproductive healthcare. With this information, healthcare providers nationwide can focus their attention on what's most important—helping their young patients make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health.

ARSHEP has created a comprehensive, evidence-based curriculum (available on CD-ROM) for residency programs, providers, and other professionals who serve adolescents on critical reproductive health topics.
