"For Ladies Only." Adapted by SHARP from an intervention recommended by the CDC, “For Ladies Only” is intended as an optional, 1-hour educational offering for young female sailors and marines. A presentation on symptoms, prevalence, and transmission of gonorrhea and Chlamydia and the incidence of unplanned pregnancies (UPP) is provided to increase perceived susceptibility to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and UPP. The effectiveness of male condoms is discussed and proper condom use is demonstrated. Women are taught how to be assertive in discussing condom use with their partner, and how to deal with partner resistance to condoms. Through videos, presentations, role play, discussions and practice, women learn how to increase their sense of control over their sexual encounters, increase their STI and UPP awareness and perceived susceptibility, and increase self-efficacy for condom use.

"Reproductive Health". A 2-session educational intervention, totaling 4 hours (session 1 = 2.5 hours; session 2 held two months later = 1.5 hours), for male and female sailors and marines focused on knowledge, skills, attitudes and circumstances known to affect unplanned pregnancies. The course may be led by a female Hospital Corpsman or other non-clinician leader. Adapted by the Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Center from the evidence-based work of CAPT Chung-Park M.S. (2008 - Evaluation of a pregnancy prevention programme using the Contraceptive Behavior Change model. Journal of Advanced Nursing; 61(1), 81;91) which demonstrated significant reduction of pregnancies among students. Order your materials on the SHARP Toolbox DVD from SHARP.
