Comprehensive Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention (CAPP)

The Comprehensive Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention (CAPP) program is a project of the Division of Adolescent Medicine at Staten Island University Hospital and is funded through a grant from the NYS Department of Health.  In compliance with the NYSED Health Education Learning Standards, CAPP provides evidence-based, age-appropriate reproductive health education to students in Middle and High Schools.  Additional programming takes place at after-school programs, faith-based institutions, and adolescent service agencies.

CAPP offers a variety of programming designed to foster positive attitudes and healthy behaviors, including:

• Implementation of a 6-hour evidenced-based health education program in a classroom or workshop setting
• Classroom presentations on reproductive health, including NYC DOE-mandated HIV lessons
• On-site, one-to-one health education and referrals for youth
• After-school peer education programming which focuses on community service-learning opportunities that help teens build strengths and hone social emotional skills proven to bolster success later in life

All programs are facilitated by skilled Health Educators and are free of charge.  For questions or to book a workshop please contact Christine Roos at (718) 226-6032  or croos@northwell.edu
