Reflection on a campaign created in your health care place of work
Assignment 5.c: Healthy Behaviors Field Assignment
Incidence and prevalence estimates suggest that young people
aged 15–24 years acquire half of all new STDs and that one in four
sexually active adolescent females has an STD, such as chlamydia or
human papillomavirus (HPV). Compared with older adults, sexually
active adolescents aged 15–19 years and young adults aged 20–24
years are at higher risk of acquiring STDs for a combination of
behavioral, biological, and cultural reasons.
