All instruments had content validity. The reliability of the questionnaires had Cronbach’s alpha coefficients of 0.91 and .93, respectively. Data were analyzed by statistics of percentage, mean, standard deviation and paired t-test.
Findings: 1) Mean confidence in sexual abstinence and pregnancy prevention among teenage female students after participating in the program was higher than before participating in the program at the level of statistical significance of .01.
2) There were no pregnancies among the sexually at-risk student group 10 months after participating in the program.
