Bringing adolescent sexual and reproductive health research to youth-supporting professionals.
About us
A collaboration between Child Trends and Chapin Hall to bring adolescent sexual and reproductive health research to youth-supporting professionals. Activate curates, adapts, and creates evidence-informed, user-friendly resources using research-based methods for translating research to practice. We partner with youth-supporting professionals, young people, and researchers to translate research for professionals who support young people experiencing the child welfare and/or justice systems, homelessness, and/or disconnection from school and work (i.e., opportunity youth). Our resources help youth-supporting professionals apply research in their everyday work with young people. By using Activate’s research-backed resources—translated in a user-friendly, easily digestible manner—professionals can focus on encouraging young people to make healthy choices about their sexual and reproductive health.
