The US Department of Health and Human Services recognizes the Heritage Keepers(r) Abstinence Education program as an effective, evidenced-based intervention that reduces sexual initiation among teens as well as other positive research findings that impact the health and well-being of youth. Heritage Keepers(r) is the first abstinence until marriage program to be included on the federal list of approved pregnancy prevention programs. Heritage Keepers(r) Abstinence Education I is a 450 minute curricula developed to equip and empower adolescents to abstain from sexual activity outside of marriage. The goal of the Heritage Keepers(r) Abstinence Education program is to reduce the number of teens initiating sexual activity and increase the number of sexually active teens returning to abstinence. Heritage uses theoretical models and various methodologies in program implementation. The Heritage Keepers(r) Abstinence Education program encourages teens to develop a strong sense of personal identity and worth, set protective boundaries, resist negative peer pressure, determine and protect personal values and goals, and set high standards for themselves. A significant amount of the curriculum focuses on reproduction and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), specifically discussing STD symptoms, treatments/cures, and prevention (all with information provided by the Office of Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention and approved for medical accuracy). Condom efficacy is also explained in relation to each STD. The most recent publication of the Heritage Keepers(r) curriculum in 2008 was approved by the US Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Population Affairs, for medical accuracy and sound referencing. Heritage ensures that the curriculum is research-based with over 80 references from widely accepted social science research to support curriculum information.
