While rates of teen pregnancy are dropping, disparities in Latina teen pregnancy rates continue nationally, within the state of Oregon and locally within Jackson County. Using a community based participatory research approach, a community and academic partnership was formed in response to a call for action from Latino community leaders with concerns about the rise in local Latina teen pregnancy rates in Jackson County, which are double non-Hispanic rates. A series of community assessments occurred during the first two years of the coalition. In 2012, the coalition identified strategies for implementation based on review of the community assessments and is currently implementing strategies focused on education, empowerment, communication, and awareness. As a result of coalition participation, Jackson County Public Health was awarded a grant to implement Cuídate, an evidence-based, culturally based intervention to reduce HIV sexual risk among Latino youth. Other strategies currently being implemented are: 1) a Photovoice calendar for parents focused on communication; 2) a pilot student and parent liaison program for parents of high school students focused on education and communication; and 3) a pilot Latino youth theater to facilitate parent-adolescent communication about sexual risk.
