Hundreds of thousands of teens nationwide are expected to participate in the fifth annual National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy taking place on May 3.
The National Day is organized to reach teens directly through an innovative, online quiz. On May 3, 2006 (and for a few weeks thereafter), teens will be encouraged to go online to the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy's website  www.teenpregnancy.org/ to take a short, engaging, and informative quiz that asks teens to reflect on the best course of action in a number of tough and realistic sexual situations.
Calhoun County ranks among West Virginia's top ten in teen pregnancy rates. To help address this problem, Calhoun County Family Resource Network has agreed to help make sure that the 2006 National Day is a success.
Organized by the National Campaign, the National Day has widespread support, including National Day founding partners Teen People magazine and Teen People online, over 150 national organizations and media outlets who serve as official National Day partners, and financial support from the Candies Foundation.
Over 630,000 people participated in the 2005 National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. A survey of some of those who participated in 2005 indicates the Quiz is a success:
84% said the Quiz made them think about what they might do is such situations;
66% said the Quiz made the risks of sex and teen pregnancy seem more real to them; and
63% said they'd encourage others to take the Quiz.
