Sexual Risk Avoidance Program

The Alabama Sexual Risk Avoidance Program (ASRAE) is a federally funded program of the Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, and managed by ADPH's Bureau of Family Health Services, Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Branch. The goal of ASRAE is to provide effective, evidence-based abstinence education programs to middle-school youth to equip them to resist sexual risk behaviors and to make better choices as they mature into young adulthood.

Community-Based Projects

ASRAE provides funding to community-based projects to provide abstinence education to middle-school youth in targeted Alabama counties. ADPH makes these funds available through a competitive selection process. The current awardees are listed below. 

• Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Branch (Central Office)
• Tuscaloosa County Health Department
