Abstract
This article discusses development of a collaborative approach centered on supporting peer education. Parent and community-based organizations can support development of efforts designed and implemented by peer educators. A model of infrastructure development and support for school-based, peer-focused efforts is discussed. The article provides background data regarding the organizational supports for the school-based HIV prevention activities and community setting. Findings from evaluation data and the local Youth Risk Behavior Survey are included. The article offers recommendations regarding support for “mini-networks” within local communities to support peer-focused prevention efforts.
