What factors should be looked at when picking a community to implement Plain Talk?
There are multiple factors to look at. First, the community demographics and trends related to teen pregnancy and STDs. Also consider the communities history of addressing or not addressing social problems. This will include the different organizations and agencies, and the ability to garner and maintain resident support and participation in programs. Another factor to look at is the implementation agency including the board and staff structure, whether this is a critical part of the overall mission and vision of the organization, how will this process be supported throughout the programs life cycle, etc. These are a few of the items that will be discussed during planning meetings with potential Plain Talk sites.
