Helping Teens Resist Pressures to Become Sexually Active at Early Ages
Operated through a partnership between Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and Cincinnati Public Schools, the Postponing Sexual Involvement (PSI) Program was created in 1983 by Dr. Marion Howard at Emory University / Grady Memorial Hospital.
The Postponing Sexual Involvement Program is an educational curriculum designed to help teenagers learn to cope with and resist social and peer pressures to become sexually active at inappropriately early ages.
Cincinnati Postponing Sexual Involvement also includes PSI PAYOFFSM, a training and consultation service for other school districts interested in establishing teen leadership Postponing Sexual Involvement programs.
Other local agencies also run Postponing Sexual Involvement programs in the Greater Cincinnati area for populations which are separate from the Cincinnati Public Schools student body.
The Cincinnati Postponing Sexual Involvement program's mission is to create positive peer pressure and positive social pressure for postponing sexual intercourse among young teens.
