*PRC Adolescent Sexual Health Initiative – MT DPHHS
 
 
 
The teen birth rate in Montana has failed to drop as rapidly as national rates. DPHHS’ Women’s and Men’s Health Section (WMHS) has identified high-need counties with high teen birth rates using data from the Office of Vital Statistics and the Montana Youth Risk Behavior Survey. Within the top 10 highest teen birth rate counties include six counties that have American Indian reservations. 7 of the top 10 highest teen birth rate counties also have high rates of population below the poverty level. The VISTA will develop an informative mini-grant application and evaluation process that will provide funding to enhance local primary prevention education efforts. Located in beautiful Helena, Montana’s state capital and the “Queen City of the Rockies,” the VISTA serving with Area IV Agency on Aging will have easy access to Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks, an expansive trail system, and endless opportunities to explore the outdoors through hiking, biking, fishing, and skiing in the heart of Big Sky Country!
