Effectiveness of Program

• Throughout the ’07-‘08 school year we spoke to more than 18,200 students in the Twin Cities and Rochester areas of Minnesota!
• The ARC spoke at 60 different venues presenting the message of abstinence to more than 600 classes/groups of students during the ’07-’08 school year.

• After an abstinence presentation, students indicated that 55% of them had made a decision to choose abstinence until marriage and 4% indicated that they had made a choice of secondary virginity.
• After an ARC presentation, 43% of students who said they had previously been sexually active or undecided about being sexually active indicated a changed heart towards choosing or reconsidering abstinence.
• After sexually active teens watched an ARC presentation, only 24% of those teens reported that they still want to be sexually active.
• After youth who were undecided about their sexual choices saw an ARC presentation, nearly 1/3 of them chose abstinence or secondary virginity.
