The New 3Rs is a groundbreaking, long-term initiative that uses proven public health strategies to support youth in developing healthy sexual attitudes and behaviors. It aims to create a youth-positive climate that takes practical, tangible form through an open-ended set of activities.

The New 3Rs is not a specific program or project. Instead, it is an organizing principle supported by a host of programs, projects, curricula and policies.

Core Values:

RIGHTS
We believe youth have the right to accurate information and access to health services.

RESPECT
We respect youth as valued members of the community, with much to offer.

RESPONSIBILITY
We trust youth to make responsible decisions when they are provided information, taught skills and given support to do so.

The New 3R's website has an area specifically for health professionals that includes ways to implement New 3Rs, resources, and information on presentations and workshops available in Oregon. http://www.new3rs.info/index.php?p=diff_health
