Event
teenSPARC STI Prevention and Risk Calculator
This webinar will provide an overview of teen-SPARC with examples. By the end of the presentation, participants should be able to describe: 1) What the tool does, including the inputs it builds on and outputs it provides, and 2) How they can use their own jurisdiction data to enter into the tool for local results.
A newly developed Excel tool, teen-SPARC, is designed to help public health jurisdictions and other entities explore the potential short-term impact of behavior change on reducing sexually transmitted infections (Neisseria gonorrhea, Chlamydia trachomatis, and HIV) among the sexually active high-school-attending adolescent population. The tool integrates data from the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBS) and can also be useful to jurisdictions who do not have local YRBS data, and who either have alternative data sources or who wish to explore what-if scenarios. This tool can be accessed atwww.emorycamp.org/teensparc.
