Specifications include, but are not limited to: • Implement sexual risk avoidance education programming using an evidence based curriculum approved by the funder. Promoting Health Among Teens, Abstinence Only and Making a Difference are the current evidence based curricula being supported by the State Sexual Risk Avoidance Education Program. • Determine a target population of youth and plan to serve a minimum of 50 young people per cohort. • Include in its work plan a parent education/engagement component. This can include parent education workshops and other activities which provide information to parents about how to discuss sexual abstinence and risk reduction with their children. Parent engagement activities must occur more than once during the course of the funding period. • Agree to comply with terms and conditions of SRAE awards as attached. • Ensure evidence based program models selected are implemented with fidelity. • Monitor and report on program implementation and outcomes through performance measures (data collection) as determined by the federal Sexual Risk Avoidance Education Program and the State. Categories of performance measures to be tracked include output measures (i.e. numbers of youth served, hours of service delivery); fidelity/adaptation (full program models are to be replicated with fidelity, adaptations should be minimal, such as updating statistics, increasing interactive learning activities, or tailoring to learning/development level); implementation and capacity building (i.e. community partnerships, competence in working with identified population); and outcome measures (i.e. behavioral, knowledge and intentions). Maryland grantees must also agree to participate, if selected, in any federal impact evaluations.
