    This document discusses adolescent sexual behavior and intervention strategies. It provides data showing nearly half of adolescents in the US and North Dakota have had sexual intercourse. Many engage in risky behaviors like unprotected sex and multiple partners. Intervention programs aim to educate youth, increase contraceptive use, and reduce risky behaviors through evidence-based approaches. Selecting interventions requires examining local data and needs, evaluating current strategies, and determining the best program to meet needs at different levels. Community resources can also provide supportive services.
