Dear Forum Participant:
Our one-month online discussion on youth and pregnancy prevention is just about to end. The discussion was designed to serve as a forum for people actively working in adolescent reproductive health and HIV prevention. The goals were to facilitate a dialogue on best practices and create an environment where you could exchange lessons learned, share resources and ideas, solve individual and common problems, and advance your practice.
Below you will find a brief evaluation designed to provide feedback on the forum for us, indicate your level of satisfaction, and offer suggestions for improvement in possible future forums. It contains 17 short questions and should take you less than 5 minutes to complete. Your responses will be kept confidential and will be used to help us improve future forums and online discussions. Even if you did not send in a posting, please complete the survey.
We will send out a final digest of any new postings. Then, the following week, we will send a closing message for the forum, including results from the survey and thoughts on next steps for possible discussions or forums in conjunction with the Implementing Best Practices Initiative and INFO.
Thank you for your participation in this survey. And, we are happy to receive any additional postings this week on any issue that has been raised during the month-long forum.
Sincerely,
Ed Scholl for YouthNet, INFO and the Implementing Best Practices in Reproductive Health Initiative
