Senate Health Education Committee SB 237 Hearing - Wednesday, October 19th Noon
WAWH SB 237 Fact Sheet
With teen birth rates rising for the first time in 14 years and sexually transmitted infections (STI) skyrocketing across the state, it is time to start taking Wisconsin youth and their health seriously. High rates of teen pregnancy and STI are crucial public health problems that result in poor health outcomes for young adults and children alike. We must support policies that give our young people the information and skills they need to make healthy decisions—now and throughout their lives.

To address this public health crisis in Wisconsin, the Healthy Youth Act ensures that schools who choose to teach sex ed are using curriculum proven to reduce risky behaviors that result in unintended teenage pregnancy and STDs.
